CALHOUN COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – The Michigan Lottery announced on Monday that a 38-year-old Calhoun County man won $500,000 playing the Black Pearls instant game.
The lucky player chose to remain anonymous.
He purchased his winning ticket at the Columbia C-Store at 1265 Columbia Avenue East in Battle Creek.
“I purchased a Black Pearls ticket while I was at the store and scratched it when I got in my car,” said the player. “When I saw I’d won $500,000, I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I tried calming myself down, but I was shaking the whole way home. I still can’t believe it’s real!”
The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to purchase a home.
