Michigan man wins $4 million in instant lottery game
A Michigan man is making plans to take his family somewhere warm after winning a $4 million lottery jackpot, CNN reports.
The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, bought two EXTREME CA$H scratch-off tickets from a Marathon gas station, Michigan Lottery said Wednesday.
One of those tickets revealed he had won the top prize.
"I started scratching the tickets when I got in my car and couldn't believe it when I saw I'd won $4 million. I started shaking and sat there staring at the ticket in disbelief for about 15 minutes," he told lottery officials.
"I drove to my wife's work right away to surprise her. When she came out to my car and looked the ticket over, she couldn't believe it either. She insisted we take it to a retailer to confirm it was real."
The ticket was real. The lucky man recently visited lottery headquarters to claim his prize.
He chose to receive a one-time lump sum payment of about $2.7 million, telling lottery officials that he planned to spend some of it taking his family on a warm vacation, but will save the rest.
