The reported total, before any tax, is $1 million; the money she receives is roughly two-thirds of it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The $10 game launched in February and has paid out more than $16 million, with prizes ranging from $10 to the $1 million top tier. More than $29 million in prizes are still outstanding, including two remaining $1 million tickets, 13 prizes of $10,000, and 106 of $2,000. Michigan players won more than $1.7 billion on instant games during 2025.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The win follows a run of seven-figure scratch and lottery payouts across regulated U.S. and European games this summer.
