there is a simple and free method to still win a huge jackpot using your losing ticket & it works
A LOSING lotto ticket doesn't necessarily mean it's the end of the road for gamblers hoping to pick up prize money.
In fact, players who scan their non-winning tickets in one US state have the chance to still win $100,000 from the same game.
A second chance promotion means that in Michigan you are still in with a shot of picking up a huge prize.
Lotto officials in the state write: "Each non-winning $300,000,000 Diamond Riches ticket is eligible for a second chance to win a prize ranging from $500 up to $100,000.
"Players can enter by scanning their non-winning tickets on the Michigan Lottery mobile app ticket scanner by Nov. 13, 2022.
"Seven more second chance drawings will be conducted. "
Each drawing will award one winner of $100,000, five winners of $10,000, 20 winners of $1,000 and 60 winners of $500.
Officials add: "Players can visit Michigan Lottery for complete game rules and drawing dates. The next drawing is scheduled for August 31."
It's a method that worked for one lucky gambler who scooped $100,000 after double checking his non-winning $300,000,000 Diamond Riches tickets.
The unnamed Michigan man, 58, told lottery officials: "I bought a few of the $300,000,000 Diamond Riches tickets and scanned them on the Lottery app after I scratched them to double check them.
"I never read the back of the ticket, so I didn't know that by scanning them, I earned entries into a giveaway."
That meant he actually picked up his win by double-checking his tickets and being entered into a new draw on August 17.
He added: "I called the lottery to see what the email was about, which is when I learned that scanning the tickets had entered me into a drawing.
"It was such a surprise."
