Macomb County Man almost missed $ 4m Lottery Jackpot -Sejr by overlooking part of the ticket

Lansing, Mi – a man from Macomb County who thought his magnificent millions of immediate ticket was a loser, got pretty shock when he decided to double check the ticket.

“When I play Instant Games, I jump around when I scrape off the ticket,” said the 43-year-old winner who chose to remain anonymous. “I thought I had scratched everything off and saw no winning matches, so I threw the ticket aside.

“The next time I stopped at a gas station, I took the ticket inside and scanned it just to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. When I scanned it and got the message to file a claim, I knew I had missed something on the ticket. When I looked at it again, I saw somewhere I forgot to scratch. When I revealed that I was a $ 4 million winner I went numb! “

The winner bought his ticket at 9 Mile Stop & Go, located at 28955 van Dyke in Warren. He chose to receive his winnings as a disposable, chunk of $ 2.7 million rather than annuity. He plans to save the money.

“This incredible story is a great reminder to always double check your tickets to make sure you don’t miss a winner,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Scanning your tickets at a dealer or on the Michigan Lottery app is easy and want to make sure you never miss a life-changing price!”

The last players from Michigan to win a Mega Million or Powerball Jackpot is The Breakfast Club Lottery Club, who demanded a $ 842 million jackpot in June 2024. Members plan to spend the money to buy a home in Florida and travel.

And even though they were lucky winners, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a mega million winner worth $ 1 million sold in Southfield in 2023 was not -required. Instead, the money went to the State School Aid Fund.
