TikTok Inspiration Turns $5 Lottery Ticket Into Six-Figure Win in Michigan

Written by Published

Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unexpected places—and for one Michigan man, it was scrolling through TikTok.

Grosjieon Moore, 63, had been watching videos of people hitting big lottery wins online. At first, he brushed it off.
“I remember thinking, yeah… that’s never gonna be me,” he said.

But a few days later, something changed.

👉 On a quick stop at a local Detroit market, he decided to take a shot and picked up a $5 scratch-off ticket for the $500,000 Bonus Scratch Multiplier game.

What happened next? Totally unexpected.


💥 “We got a winner!”

Not long after, Moore’s wife checked the ticket—and suddenly shouted the words everyone hopes to hear:
“We got a winner!”

At first, she thought they had landed $50,000.
Then came the real surprise…

  • She had missed a zero
  • The actual prize? A massive six-figure payout

“It was amazing,” Moore said, still taking it all in.


💡 A simple plan for a big win

Unlike flashy spending stories, Moore is keeping things practical:

  • ✔️ Planning to put the money into savings
  • ✔️ Staying grounded despite the big win

🎟️ More prizes still out there

The game itself has been pretty generous since launching in February:

  • Over $6 million already won by players
  • More than $23 million still up for grabs
  • Including:
    • 🎯 Two top prizes of $500,000
    • 💰 Eight $10,000 prizes
