Kent County Woman Wins $1 Million from Michigan Lottery


A Kent County woman won $1,000,000 from the Michigan Lottery’s $1,000,000 Bonus Scratch Multiplier instant game. The winning ticket was purchased at Aikan Liquor at 1640, 44th Street Southeast in Kentwood. The woman opted for a one-off lump sum payment of $693,000.

The $1,000,000 Bonus Scratch Multiplier instant game has paid out more than $16,000,000 since it launched in February 2026.

The woman, who frequently plays the lottery, said she was a frequent lottery player and tended to buy her tickets at different locations. On that fateful day she purchased the winning ticket, she recounted: 'I scratched my $1,000,000 Bonus Scratch Multiplier ticket when I got home from the store, and when I saw I’d won $1 million, I screamed so loud that I scared my son.'

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
