LANSING, December 8, 2005 – A very lucky Kalamazoo man feels like a king after scratching his way to a $30,000 prize.  This is the top prize on the Casino Kings Instant ticket.

The man, who opted to remain anonymous, has played the Lottery for the last year; this is his first big win.  He plans to purchase a new vehicle with his prize money.

The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s #6203, 5324 Meredith Dr., in Portage.

Casino Kings is just one of many Michigan Lottery Instant tickets available at more than 10,000 Lottery retailers statewide.

All proceeds from the Lottery are contributed to the state School Aid Fund which supports kindergarten through 12th grade public education in Michigan.  In fiscal year 2005, the contribution was $667.6 million.
