Caro Man Scores Big With $100,000 Michigan Lottery Win

Gilbert Godinez, from Caro in Tuscola County, can now celebrate a $100,000 Michigan Lottery win. The local man’s lucky ticket turned into a life-changing prize.

The winning Super Raffle ticket was purchased at Thumb Meat Market in Caro.

The Michigan Lottery Super Raffle is a special raffle game where players buy numbered tickets for a chance to win big cash prizes. Each ticket has a unique number, and once all tickets are sold, the Lottery holds a drawing to determine the winners.

According to Michigan Lottery Connect, Mr. Godinez has officially claimed his winnings and spoke about his excitement and feelings regarding his big win:

When the Super Raffle game launched, I told myself I was going to buy one ticket a month until the drawing took place.

The day of the drawing, I got on MichiganLottery.com to check my raffle numbers and was stunned to find out that the last raffle ticket I bought was a $100,000 winner! I never would have thought I’d win a prize like this, so it’s pretty unbelievable!

Mr. Godinez plans to invest some of his winnings, travel, and have some fun.

That sounds like a solid plan to me. Here's to a fun adventure for one of Michigan's most recent lottery winners.

Winning $20 on a Michigan Lottery instant ticket makes me happy. $100,000 seems unimaginable - well, okay, maybe I can imagine that after all.

I’m quite certain I would make an excellent rich person, and chances are you would too. Good luck - you know what they say, you can't win if you don't play.
