New York Man Wins $4 Million From Michigan Scratch-Off Lottery Ticket

A New York man is the lucky winner of $4 million after playing a Michigan Lottery game.

The winner purchased a $30 Worth Millions instant game ticket near Dearborn. The winning prizes for the instant game range between $30 and $4 million, WJRT reported.

"I saw there were two top prizes remaining on the Worth Millions game, so I thought I had good odds," said the 26-year-old player. "I gave the ticket to my friend to check when he went to the store. When I got a call from him telling me I won $4 million; I freaked out. I had to pinch myself because I couldn't believe it was real."

Instead of annuity payments, he decided to collect his money in a one-time lump-sum payment of $2.5 million.

"It feels surreal to win. It hasn't sunk in it yet, but it is truly unbelievable," noted the lucky player.
