Sept. 20 (UPI) — A fortunate resident of Michigan recently won a $50 lottery prize and decided to reinvest his beginner’s luck by purchasing a scratch-off ticket, which unexpectedly granted him an astonishing $4 million jackpot. The fascinating details of this incident are disclosed by the Michigan Lottery.

The 54-year-old individual from Kent County expressed to Michigan Lottery officials that while he was present at the Citgo gas station located on Plainfield Avenue in Grand Rapids, he made the spontaneous choice to utilize his modest winnings to try his luck again.

“After winning $50 from an instant game, I felt compelled to reinvest my windfall,” the fortunate player shared. “Regrettably, the store was completely sold out of the $50 instant games, leading me to opt for a $30 ticket instead.”

Ultimately, the player selected a scratch-off ticket from the enticing Millionaire’s Club series.

“Upon scratching the ticket, discovering that I had miraculously won $4 million, my immediate reaction was to call my brother,” the elated winner reminisced. “Urging caution, he advised me to confirm it was not one of those practical joke lottery tickets. Therefore, I promptly flipped it over and meticulously examined the fine print on the back. Once I validated its authenticity, I promptly contacted the lottery authority to verify my prize.”

Regarding his plans for the generous sum, the victorious individual expressed intentions to allocate the funds towards fulfilling various financial obligations and embarking on well-deserved travel adventures.

“The experience of winning still appears surreal to me, but I anticipate it will truly sink in once I successfully cash my well-deserved check,” the player concluded.
