Wayne County, Mich. – Have you ever bought a lottery ticket on a whim and ended up with life-changing winnings? For one lucky resident of Dearborn Heights, this dream became a reality when he won an astounding $2 million from the popular Colossal Cashword lottery game.
The 32-year-old man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, picked up his winning ticket during a routine stop at the River Oaks Marathon gas station located at 20015 Ann Arbor Trail. Sometimes, fortune favors the bold, and in this case, it certainly did!
One Ticket Leads to More Wins
It all started with a simple purchase. “I bought a Colossal Cashword ticket while I was at the gas station and won $30,” the lucky player shared. Feeling lucky after his first win, he decided to reinvest his winnings into another ticket. However, the second ticket did not bring him any luck.
“The second ticket was a non-winner, so I decided to try one more,” he said, determined not to give up hope. His tenacity paid off when he bought a third ticket and scratched it right there in the store.
The Big Reveal
As he scratched away, he reached the seventh word and thought it was a modest win of $600. But this feeling of contentment was quickly turned on its head. Curious, he scanned the ticket using an app to confirm his win, only to be met with stunning news: he was actually holding a jackpot of $2 million!
“When $2 million came up on the scanner, I started screaming,” he recalled, filled with sheer excitement. “My wife tried to calm me down so people wouldn’t hear me, but I couldn’t contain my excitement!”
Claiming the Prize
This heartwarming tale doesn’t end there! After the couple caught their breath, they proceeded to claim the incredible prize. He opted for a one-time lump sum payment, walking away with around $1.3 million after taxes. The couple is now faced with the delightful task of deciding how to use this newfound wealth.
