“I bought a Magnificent 7s ticket while I was at the store Thanksgiving morning and I scratched it when I got in my car,” the player said. “When I saw I’d won $2 million, I went completely numb. I drove straight to a family member’s house to have them look the ticket over and lock it in their safe. It’s safe to say I was feeling extra thankful this Thanksgiving!”
The 64-year-old recently visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. He opted to take the one-time lump sum payment of roughly $1.2 million.
With his winnings, he plans to purchase a cottage.
