HERMUS MILLSAPS IN 1973

Today in 1973, Hermus Millsaps became the first winner of $1 million in the Michigan State lottery. The Chrysler factory worker from Taylor was earning $160 per week at the time.  After striking it rich, one of his very first purchases was a 14 inch color TV.  Today, his winning Mitten State lottery ticket would be worth about $4.8 million.

 

Love,
