A Detroit man won a top prize of $300,000 playing the Michigan Lottery's Bingo Blockbuster game.
Jamaar Fields, 45, bought the winning ticket for the Bingo Blockbuster game out of curiosity from Fenkell Express located at 19850 Fenkell Street in Detroit.
"I don't usually play Bingo games, so when I scratched the ticket off I just couldn't understand what I was seeing," said Fields. "I took the ticket up to the store, and they scanned it and told me to call the Lottery. That's when I knew I had won a good size prize.
"I called my niece, and she came over to look at the ticket," Fields said. "When she told me how much I had won, I couldn't believe my ears."
Fields visited the Lottery headquarters on August 31 to claim his prize. He plans to invest in his business and take a vacation with his winnings.
"Once everything settles down, I'm taking a vacation to sit on the beach and eat a big bowl of fruit," Fields said.
