March 15 (UPI) -- A Michigan man spent some of his $100 lottery winnings on the last $5 scratch-off ticket in a roll and ended up winning $300,000.
The 46-year-old Bay County man told Michigan Lottery officials he had his brush with lottery luck at the Southside Market store on Cass Avenue in Bay City.
"I was at the store and bought two $30 tickets and won $100, so I used some of my winnings to purchase more tickets," the player said. "I hardly ever play the Bingo games, but there was one left on the roll, so I decided to purchase it."
The player said he skipped right to scratching off the barcode of the $5 Bingo Blockbuster ticket.
