(CBS DETROIT)A Wayne County man’s habit of getting a cup of coffee and a scratch-off ticket paid off when he played the Michigan Lottery’s Make It Rein instant game and won the $300,000 top prize.
The gamer, 56, who prefers to stay unknown, purchased his ticket at the Speedway petrol station, which is situated in Livonia at 37416 7 Mile Road.
In a statement, the player stated, “I stopped at the gas station to get coffee and an instant ticket like I have done every day for the past eight years.” When I returned to my car, I scratched the ticket, thinking I had won $30,000. After examining the ticket for the next thirty minutes, I went into the store to make sure it was correct.
“The cashier returned it to me after scanning it and informed me that I hadn’t erased every zero. I discovered then that I had won $300,000. It was unbelievable to me.
