A quick stop for gas turned into a life-changing moment for a Michigan man who just scored a massive $2 million lottery win.

The 45-year-old from Kent County said he normally sticks to cheap scratch-offs and rarely buys the bigger tickets. While filling up at a gas station in Grand Rapids, he picked up a $2 Blackjack scratch-off ticket and scratched it while pumping gas.

That small ticket ended up winning him $20 — and that’s when things got interesting.

Instead of buying a couple of smaller tickets with his winnings, one ticket instantly grabbed his attention: the $2,000,000 Bonus Scratch Multiplier game. He decided to take the chance, scratched it in his car, and could hardly believe what he saw.

Boom — $2 million.

“I went into complete shock,” the winner shared. “I don’t think it’ll feel real until I actually cash the check.”

What’s next for the lucky winner?

• Buying a new house
• Taking a dream vacation
• Saving money for the future

Not bad for turning a $20 win into a multi-million-dollar jackpot.
