Macomb County Man Hits $1M Jumbo Jackpot: MI Lottery

MOUNT CLEMENS, MI — A Macomb County man "shed some tears" after a store clerk told him his Jumbo Jackpot Slots Fast Cash ticket was a $1.05 million winning ticket, according to the Michigan lottery.

The 34-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought his winning ticket May 7 at Cass Market and Liquor, located at 278 Cass Avenue in Mount Clemens, according to lottery officials.

"I was at the Lottery machine deciding which game to buy when I saw the Jumbo Jackpot Slots Fast Cash game," the lucky player told lottery officials. "I didn’t know there was a $20 Fast Cash ticket until then, so I decided to give it a try."

"I scanned the ticket without looking it over and got a message to see the retailer. I handed my ticket to the person working, and he looked it over and then told me I’d won the jackpot plus $250,000. I’m not going to lie, I definitely shed some tears," he added.

With his winnings, he plans to take care of his kids and invest, according to lottery officials.
