SHIAWASSEE COUNTY, Mich. – A Michigan man’s 666 lottery numbers turned out to be lucky after they led him to winning a record-breaking prize.
The Shiawassee County man, who decided to stay anonymous, won $2.39 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Jackpot Slots Millionaire game.
This is the largest prize ever won from a Fast Cash game, according to the Michigan Lottery. The previous record was set in November 2019 when a Wayne County man won a $1.84 million Fast Cash progressive jackpot.
“I played 6-6-6 on a couple of Daily 3 tickets and won big,” said the lucky player. “I decided to take $100 of my winnings and buy some Fast Cash tickets because the jackpot was so huge.”
The player purchased his winning ticket at King’s Corner Market of Owosso at 701 North Washington Street in Owosso.
“As soon as the clerk handed me the tickets, I ran my eyes over them to see if I had won anything,” said the player. “I was absolutely shocked to see that I had hit the jackpot for $2.39 million! We started celebrating in the store and then I got to make the best phone call I’ve ever made to my family and friends to tell them the news! Everyone has been so happy for me and my wife!”
He recently claimed his prize and said he plans to pay bills and then invest the rest of his winnings.
Tickets for Fast Cash games range from $2 per play up to $30 per play.
These games print from terminals at lottery retailers and give people the chance to win all or a portion of the progressive jackpot.
