<div>A Michigan couple who won a $500,000 state lottery scratch-off ticket three years ago have been charged in a three-month burglary spree that targeted at least a dozen homes across five counties, authorities say.<br />

Authorities waited outside the store after spotting the couple&#8217;s Ford SUV, which matched the description of a suspect vehicle that was linked to the string of burglaries in all five counties.</div>
