Michigan Lottery Player's Dreamlike $1 Million Win on Lucky Match Instant Game
An Oakland County man thought he was dreaming when he won $1 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Lucky Match instant game.
The 29-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought his winning ticket at the BP gas station, located at 3700 Joslyn Road in Auburn Hills.
“I bought two instant games after work one night and scratched them when I got home,” the player said.
“I didn’t win anything on the first ticket, and I thought the second one was going to be a non-winner too.
“I started scratching the ticket and won on the first line I scratched. I thought the ticket was fake when I revealed the ‘1MIL’ symbol, so I scanned it on the Lottery app.
When confetti came up with the amount of $1 million, I thought I was dreaming! I yelled: ‘Wake me up! This can’t be real!’ I called my family right away to tell them the good news.”
