The 42-year-old chose to receive his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $2.5 million rather than 30 annuity payments for the full amount.
The universe works in mysterious ways, often leaving us surprised. A 42-year-old man in the United States experienced the same after buying the last two Diamond 7s tickets at a grocery store and winning a whopping $4 million prize.
According to Michigan Lottery, the man, who chose to remain anonymous, revealed that he likes to play $20 and $30 instate tickets. He said he was at a Meijer store on Pigeon Road in Bad Axe when he noticed only two Diamond 7s tickets were left at the counter. The 42-year-old purchased both the $30 tickets and had the clerk scan them after he scratched the barcodes.
"When one of them gave a message to file a claim, I started scratching it off at the counter with the clerk," the man told the Michigan Lottery. "As soon as I scratched the winning symbol and saw '4MIL' underneath, I grabbed the ticked and ran out of the store. I was in complete shock!" he added.
