Fast Cash<\/a> game.<\/p>\nThe 68-year-old man has chosen to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
The man said he only buys lottery tickets when the pool is above $700,000, he always tells the cashier not to give him the Detroit Lions games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hadn\u2019t been having luck with it. I forgot to tell the cashier that this time, and the Detroit Lions game is what he printed for me,\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t check his ticket until the next morning, but when he did his first thought was to find his wife. <\/p>\n
\u201cI stopped my wife as she was walking by, handed her the ticket, and said: \u2018You\u2019re not going to believe this!\u2019 Once she saw what I\u2019d won, she started crying. It was an exciting and emotional day for us,\u201d the man said. \u201cAll I\u2019ve been thinking since winning is how glad I am that I forgot to tell the cashier not to give me the Detroit Lions game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man bought his winning ticket at the Speedway gas station, located at 22380 Pontiac Trail in South Lyon.<\/p>\n
South Lyon is about 20 miles northeast of Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n
He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize.<\/p>\n
With his winnings, he plans to take care of his family.<\/p>\n
