Many people have a dream of winning the lottery, but what if you have actually already won the lottery and don't know it yet? As it turns out, there's an unclaimed $1 million lottery tickets floating around Michigan that nobody has picked up yet.
I have to say, it would be a total nightmare to find an old lottery ticket worth $1 million that has expired. I can't imagine. So, if you have played the Michigan Lottery lately, start looking around.
There's just one month left to claim the $1 million Powerball prize, which was drawn last year. According to the Michigan Lottery, the winning ticket from the May 5, 2021 drawing was purchased at Warren Market at 28069 Mound Rd. in Warren. Tell all of your Warren-area friends.
The ticket matched the five white balls drawn: 16-23-28-40-63. That resulted in a $1 million prize. Powerball tickets are good for one year from the drawing date. Therefore, the prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. on May 5. If that lucky winner is you, the Michigan Lottery says to contact the Michigan Lottery Player Relations Division at (517) 373-1237 to schedule an appointment to collect the winnings. The prize has to be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing.
So, what happens if the money isn't claimed? In that case, the funds will go to the state School Aid Fund. That's a good cause, but it would be nice for the money to go to the actual winner, so check your pockets.
Spring and summer are on the way, and that means it's vacation time. You don't need to travel far to experience an amazing vacation experience. In fact, chances are there's a great getaway just a road trip away. Here in Michigan, we have plenty of exciting beach towns and vacation-ready destinations.
Plenty of people from neighboring states and beyond actually come to Michigan to vacation in the spring and summer. I have a friend in Florida who rents a place up north for a week every summer. That said, why not take advantage of the beautiful land we have in Michigan and plan your spring getaway or summer vacation right here in the Mitten? One of my favorite things to do each summer and road trip to a new Michigan destination and take in that town's unique culture.
Read on for a list I've put together of some of Michigan's finest vacation destinations. I included 30 on this list, but of course, there are many more. The No. 1 spot, in my opinion, is Mackinac Island. If you're a Michigander and have never been to Mackinac Island, then you have some catching up to do. I remember going there as a child with my parents and grandparents and finding Petoskey stones- or at least purchasing them at a local gift shop.
If you're interested in a top 10 list, U.S. World and News Report recently put together a list of the 10 best places to visit in Michigan, which you can find here. As a Michigan native, I approve of their list, but there are far more than just 10 cities in Michigan that area prime vacation destinations.
