In an extraordinary twist of fate, a Sanilac County local walked away with a whopping $1 million lottery jackpot after playing a simple Michigan Lottery scratch-off ticket. The flabbergasted winner is just a regular 32-year-old guy who can’t quite believe his luck!
He grabbed five scratch-off tickets on a spur-of-the-moment decision from a neighborhood store, Scott’s Quik Stop located in Marlette. One of those was a Michigan Lottery’s Diamond Wild Time ticket, which turned out to be the golden goose!
‘I didn’t believe it’
The winner admits his disbelief when he saw “1MIL” pop out under the star symbol while scratching off his Diamond Wild Time ticket. His initial shock ratcheted up when his girlfriend confirmed the same via the Lottery app. The news only sank in when the figure $1 million flashed on their screen! To quote him, “It is an unbelievable feeling.”
Instead of receiving annuity payments spanning several years, the fortunate bloke has opted for a one-off lump sum payment. He is expected to pocket about $634,000 post-tax deductions. The winner plans to play it smart—saving his newfound riches for a secure future.
This stunning win has surely sent waves of exhilaration throughout the homely setting of Sanilac County, bringing home the thrill of an unexpected windfall! Just goes to show, you never know what a day might bring—sometimes, even a $1 million surprise!
