She bought the ticket at a Michigan Lottery kiosk inside the Kroger store at 2200 E. 12 Mile Road in Royal Oak. More: Where biggest Michigan Lottery tickets in September were sold "The next day, I scanned the ticket on the Michigan Lottery app to check it," Moore told the Michigan Lottery. "When $1 million came up on my phone screen, I almost fell out of my chair! I scanned the ticket again, and then a third time because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing."

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Detroit Lions traveling to Germany

LANSING — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is traveling to Germany as part of a trade mission, her office said on Thursday, Nov. 12. The trip comes as the Detroit Lions have a game scheduled in Munich, Germany, against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 15. The governor's announcement didn't say whether Whitmer would attend the NFL game. While in Germany, Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., will participate in SEMICON Europa, Europe's largest combined electronics design and manufacturing event, according to the governor's office. SEMICON Europa takes place in Munich this week, according to its website. “Germany has been a critical partner in Michigan's economic success, with companies investing billions in our state, creating jobs and helping us lead the future of manufacturing and innovation," Whitmer said in a press release. "We've built strong relationships with German businesses over the years, and we're going to keep showing up and making the case for why Michigan is the best place to invest and grow." The new Germany venture is Whitmer's fifth overseas trade mission of 2026. She traveled to South Korea in September, to France, Luxembourg and Belgium in June, to Italy and Germany

Zeeland Twp. succeeds in remanding PA 233 lawsuit back to Ottawa County

A lawsuit filed by Zeeland Township that aims to see Michigan’s Public Act 233 declared unconstitutional has been remanded to Ottawa County’s 20th Circuit Court. RWE , the global energy company named as the lawsuit's defendant, “removed" the case to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in August shortly after the initial complaint was filed July 7. The case was temporarily assigned to Judge Paul L. Maloney. RWE has a pending application for Silver Maple Solar, a large-scale solar development, before the Michigan Public Service Commission. The project would be located in Zeeland and Jamestown Townships near the Ottawa Executive Airport. Maloney granted the municipality's motion to remand the case to Ottawa County's 20th Circuit Court on Nov. 10. “First, any decision by this court regarding whether Public Act 233 violates the Michigan Constitution is not binding on (state) courts, so exercising jurisdiction here would not be useful,” Maloney wrote. “Second, exercising jurisdiction over this action would not be fair. The court will not cross the line into state sovereignty by exercising jurisdiction over a case that involves purely questions of state law, especially when many of those questions require interpreting a state constitution.” As of
