MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. – A Macomb County man won a $573,000 Michigan Lottery jackpot five months after he won $261,000 playing the same game.
The 62-year-old man won $573,617 through the BIG CA$H Second Chance jackpot after he was selected in a random drawing on Aug. 9. He earned entries after playing eligible games online.
This is the second time he’s won that same jackpot this year. In February, he received $261,935 from the drawing.
“I play the BIG CA$H games online because I like the chance to win the progressive prize,” he said. “When I won earlier this year, it was a huge surprise, but it was an even bigger surprise that I won a second time.
“I never expected to win, and winning twice has been such a blessing. Being able to invest this money for my retirement means I can retire sooner than I was planning to and spend time with my family.”
He chose to remain anonymous and claimed his prize at Michigan Lottery headquarters. He plans to invest his winnings.
