MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. – A Michigan man thought he was going to faint when he discovered that he won a $6 million lottery prize.
The 60-year-old from Macomb County, who decided to stay anonymous, purchased his winning $6,000,000 Wealth scratch-off ticket at Najors Liquor & Deli, located at 43903 Van Dyke Avenue in Sterling Heights.
“I play scratch-off tickets all the time and have been playing for more than 40 years,” the 60-year-old player told Michigan Lottery officials. “When I scratched the ticket and saw I won $6 million, I thought I was going to faint! I had to scan it on the Lottery app to double-check it because I didn’t believe what I was seeing. It still feels surreal.”
The Macomb County man recently claimed his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $4.1 million.
He plans to go on a vacation and then save the rest.
The $6,000,000 Wealth game launched in March, and since then, players have won more than $36 million playing the game.
Each $50 ticket gives people the chance to win prizes from $50 up to $6 million.
