Lucky Oakland County Chap Hits $2 Million Lottery Jackpot!

A lucky lottery player from Oakland County is probably still pinching himself to make sure he’s not dreaming, after bagging a whopping $2 million in an instant lottery game recently.

The bloke, aged 54, who’s keeping his identity hush-hush for now, struck gold in the Michigan Lottery’s Jackson instant game. According to him, his fateful win is all thanks to a good mate of his!

You see, whenever his buddy went off to buy some lottery tickets, our protagonist would hand him some cash and ask him to grab a few scratchers for him too. “It was this Jackson ticket my mate selected for me, that turned out to be the golden one. Total disbelief is the only way to describe my reaction when I realized I’d hit the $2 million prize. Honestly, I’m still walking around in a daze,” he confessed.

Needless to say, the man’s first confidant was the very friend who helped him secure his new fortune, intending to take his family by surprise as he breaks the news with a sizable check to show-off.

The lucky $20 scratch-off card came from Orchard Market Place, a store situated on the W. 13 Mile Road in Farmington Hills. Notably, it was the highest win for any Michigan lottery game in the month of July.

Our newly minted millionaire opted to collect his winnings as a lump-sum payout, a cool $1.3 million, rather than in instalments. His intentions for the unexpected windfall? To invest for his future and to bolster his children’s college funds.

Anyone feeling lucky and fancy a flutter, bear in mind there are still two top prizes of $2 million in the Jackson game yet to be claimed!
