Michigan Lottery: Macomb County man wins $1.05M on Fast Cash game

A clerk at a Mount Clemens convenience store recently brought a Macomb County man to tears.

On May 7, a 34-year-old man purchased a Jumbo Jackpot Slots Fast Cash ticket at Cass Market and Liquor located at 278 Cass Ave., according to the Michigan Lottery.

When he scanned the ticket's barcode on the lottery scanner, it instructed him to see the retailer, so he handed the ticket the clerk who told him he'd won the game's estimated jackpot of $802,234 plus $250,000.

"I’m not going to lie, I definitely shed some tears!" the winner, who chose to remain anonymous, told the Michigan Lottery.

It was the first time he'd played the $20 Fast Cash game. The series of instant win games print from terminals at retailers and range in price from $2 to $20 per play, according to the Michigan Lottery.

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

He recently collected his $1.05 million prize. With the money, he plans to take care of his kids and invest.
