Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A Michigan man shopping for a scratch-off lottery ticket at a gas station went with a "random pick" and scored a $2 million top prize.
The 53-year-old Wayne County man told Michigan Lottery officials he visited the Jefferson Fuels store on East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit in search of a scratch-off lottery ticket.
"Every once in a while, Ill buy a lottery ticket and the Legendary Wild Time game was just a random pick that day," the player said.
The $20 ticket earned the man a $2 million prize.
"I scratched the ticket right after I bought it and didn't believe it was real when I saw I'd won $2 million," the man said. "It wasn't until I called the lottery and verified my prize that it started to sink in that this was really happening."
