Dream Turns into Reality for a Lucky Man in Wayne County
In a surprising turn of events, a 53-year-old man from Wayne County struck gold despite drawing only a single match on his scratch-off ticket. His solitary match won him a whopping 1 million dollars!
The man purchased the winning Gold Multiplier ticket from the Tel-Wick Amoco Service Center, located on Telegraph Road in Taylor, Michigan. Narrating his incredible stroke of luck, the man said, “I scratched the ticket and saw I matched a number but didn’t immediately scratch off the winning amount”.
He continued, “I completed scratching the rest of the ticket and found out that I didn’t get any other matches. So, it was then that I finally scratched off the winning amount. Seeing the prize of $1 million left me dumbfounded! I immediately called my son and fiancé to share the exciting news.”
The lucky man visited the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim his mind-boggling prize. Unlike many, who choose to receive their winnings in installments, he opted for the lump sum amount of $693,000.
Despite his incredible luck, the humble man has chosen to remain anonymous. “Winning is life-changing and one of the best things to ever happen to me”, he shared. Still in a state of disbelief, he added, “I have been nervous for days, and it still doesn’t seem real.”
Undoubtedly, the unexpected win will bring a whole new level of comfort to his life. The kind-hearted winner plans to use part of his winnings to assist his family, making the joy of his luck overflow into their lives as well.
In conclusion, this lucky winner from Wayne County has proven that sometimes, it really does only take one match to light up a world of dreams!
