Detroit man wins Michigan Lottery prize worth $25,000 a year for life
A Detroit man said it still feels like he's living in a dream after recently winning $25,000 a year for life.
Micale Garland, 64, thought he was being pranked when he logged into his Michigan Lottery account and saw the Lucky For Life prize pending, according to the Michigan Lottery.
The ticket he purchased online had matched the five white balls drawn April 28 — 16, 19, 20, 33 and 40.

"I have been playing Lucky For Life for a few years and I always buy my tickets online,' Garland told the Michigan Lottery. 'When I saw the email from the Lottery about claiming a prize, I logged into my account and thought I was being pranked when I saw my account balance. It wasn't until I called the Lottery and confirmed the prize with them that I believed I'd really won. It still feels like I'm living in a dream!'
Garland recently claimed his prize and chose to receive the winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of $390,000 instead of annuity payments of $25,000 a year for 20 years or life, whichever is greater.
He plans to use the money to take a trip and save the rest.
