July 5 (UPI) — A Michigan man, residing in Macomb County, recently shared his apprehensions when he initially received an email revealing his $100,000 lottery prize from a second chance drawing.

The 69-year-old man from Macomb County explained that he always made a point to scan his non-winning $6,000,000 Jackpot tickets using the Michigan Lottery app to participate in the second chance drawing.

“After scanning several of the $6,000,000 Jackpot tickets for second chance entries, I received an email from the lottery notifying me of a $100,000 prize, and I wasn’t sure what to make of it,” the fortunate winner recounted.

“When I showed the email to my wife, she initially thought something bad had happened due to my expression,” he added.

The man and his wife were skeptical about the email’s legitimacy.

“We tried not to get too excited at first, thinking it might be a scam email. But once we confirmed its authenticity, a sense of relief washed over me,” he shared.

As for his plans with the winnings, the man intends to use the money to cover bills and share a portion of the prize with his family.
