A St. Clair County woman won $1 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s King Cashword instant game after a road-construction detour sent her to a store she had not normally used, according to Michigan Lottery Connect.

The player, identified by the lottery as a 70-year-old woman who chose to remain anonymous, bought the winning $20 King Cashword ticket at Speedy Q Markets at 2020 Water Street in Port Huron. The lottery reported that she scratched the ticket later and returned to scan it because she wanted confirmation that the $1 million result was real.

She claimed the prize at Michigan Lottery headquarters and chose a one-time lump-sum payment of about $693,000 instead of annuity payments for the full prize amount. Lottery officials said she planned to use the money toward a new house and a new car.

For readers tracking Michigan instant games, the useful game detail is that King Cashword launched in June 2025 and is a $20 instant ticket with prizes from $20 up to $1 million. Michigan Lottery Connect reported that more than $24 million in prizes remained at publication time, including one remaining $1 million top prize; players should verify the latest remaining-prize count on the official Michigan Lottery King Cashword page before buying or comparing games.

PWN readers can use this story as a reminder to keep prize reports separate from draw results: instant-game wins are claimed through tickets sold at retailers, while draw-game updates are easiest to follow through the latest lottery results page.

CochraneNow reported another six-figure lottery win in Cochrane, Alberta: Gwen and Dennis Dorosh won $100,000 on the April 1 Lotto 6/49 EXTRA draw.

The local report makes this a straightforward winner story rather than a jackpot-trend piece: the core fact is the $100,000 prize, the Lotto 6/49 EXTRA game, and the Cochrane connection. The source also described the win as part of a recent lucky streak for the community.

For PWN readers, the useful takeaway is that regional add-on and EXTRA-style games can create meaningful non-jackpot wins even when they are not the national headline. These prizes are still game-specific, so the official lottery and retailer validation process matters more than any number pattern after the fact.

If you are comparing this story with U.S. draw games, use PWN’s latest results page for current draw information, then confirm game rules, claim steps, and prize status with the official lottery connected to the ticket.

Details beyond the source report, including the full claim process and any tax treatment, were not confirmed in the article PWN reviewed.

Tyrone Curry, a former Evergreen High School coach, staff member, volunteer, school board member, and lottery winner, is set to be honored with a plaque at the school track, according to The White Center Blog.

The Highline School Board approved the recognition request at its June 3 meeting. The source reported that Friends of Evergreen plans to host a ceremony next year during cross country or track season, with community fundraising expected to help cover the plaque design, construction, and installation.

This is not a new lottery-claim story in the usual PWN sense. It is a follow-up to what happened after a major win: Curry won $3.4 million in the Washington State Lottery in 2006, continued serving Evergreen, and later contributed $40,000 toward a new track for students.

That makes the story useful for a different reason than daily jackpot coverage. It shows how a lottery windfall can become part of a longer community story, especially when a winner stays connected to the same school, athletes, and neighborhood after the headlines fade.

PWN is keeping this page in the news archive because it is source-backed lottery-winner follow-up coverage. Readers looking for current draw information should still start with PWN results and verify all active game information with official lottery sources.

A Queens, New York man claimed a $3.4 million Connecticut Lottery Lotto! jackpot from a ticket sold in Old Greenwich, according to Greenwich Patch.

The winner, Bernard Binaparte, matched all six numbers in the Friday, June 12 Lotto! drawing. Patch reported that the winning ticket was bought at the Gulf gas station at 1324 East Putnam Avenue in Old Greenwich.

The story has a fun sports hook: Binaparte tied the moment to the New York Knicks championship run and claimed the prize at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Wallingford. He also told the lottery he planned to buy a house and move somewhere warmer.

The retailer context is useful too. Patch reported that the Old Greenwich Gulf station had recently sold several other notable winning tickets, including a $25,000 scratch-game winner and earlier large scratch prizes. That does not make a retailer predictive, but it explains why local readers may recognize the location.

For PWN readers, this is a draw-game jackpot story, not a number-picking proof point. The best next step is to compare it with current lottery results and remember that past retailer wins do not change the odds of a future ticket.

An Ohio ticket sold at a Cleveland Giant Eagle became the first grand-prize winner in the multi-state Millionaire for Life game, according to Lottery Geeks.

The winning play matched 4, 15, 19, 21 and 31 plus Millionaire Ball 4. Lottery Geeks reported that the ticket was a manual-pick entry purchased at the Giant Eagle on Edgecliff Avenue in Cleveland.

The headline number depends on payout choice: the game advertises $1 million a year for life as the annuity-style top prize, while the available one-time cash option was reported as $18 million before taxes. The winner had not publicly stepped forward in the source report.

This story is useful for PWN readers because it explains why some lottery headlines describe the same prize in different ways. A “for life” prize, a minimum-payment period, and a cash option can all refer to the same winning ticket, but they are not the same payout path.

Players comparing draw games should verify the latest numbers and rules with official lottery sources, then use PWN’s results hub and tips archive for organization and plain-English context.
