Mississippi Lottery Player from Gulfport Claims $1 Million Prize with Plans for Vehicle Purchase

A Gulfport man claimed a $1 million top prize from the Mississippi Lottery after purchasing a $30 Millionaire Maker scratch-off ticket at a Shell Gas station in Long Beach. The winner bought the ticket on a Monday during one of his regular visits to the station, where he frequently purchases various lottery games.

He told lottery officials that he had already been an avid fan of the Millionaire Maker game prior to the win, having secured smaller prizes on earlier tickets. His persistence with the game resulted in this seven-figure payout. The man visited lottery headquarters to claim the prize and stated that he plans to purchase a new vehicle with the funds, followed by what he called “a lot of saving.”

Gulfport Winner and Remaining Millionaire Maker Prizes

The game launched with 10 top prizes of $1 million. As of the time of this writing, seven of these prizes remain. The details of the win and the winner’s intentions were outlined in the official announcement from the Mississippi Lottery.
