Attention Michigan Big Game players: one $150,000-winning Michigan Big Game lottery ticket bought about a year ago is about to expire! The ticket was purchased at Speedway #2326, 44989 N. Groesbeck Hwy., in Clinton Township, for the October 1, 1999 Big Game drawing. This ticket matched the first five winning numbers in that night's drawing: 9, 13, 15, 38, 41 and Big Money Ball number 3. Winning Michigan lottery tickets are valid for a period of one year from the draw date. Since the one-year anniversary of the October 1, 1999 draw date falls on a Sunday, when Lottery offices are closed, the winner will have until the close of business, Monday, October 2, 2000, to claim his or her prize.
