Sept. 29 (UPI) -- A Michigan Lottery player who bought a few tickets "on a whim" ended up winning a $2 million top prize from a scratch-off game.
The 32-year-old Wayne County man told Michigan Lottery officials he was at Fleck's Fresh Mart on Michigan Avenue in Canton when the 100X scratch-off tickets caught his eye.
"I don't usually play the 100X game, but I bought a few on a whim while I was at the store," he said. "I was scratching off one of the tickets and when I saw I matched number 11 with '$2MIL' underneath, I kept asking myself: 'What does this mean?' because I didn't believe I really won $2 million at first."
The man said he sought a second opinion on the ticket.
