KENT COUNTY, Michigan (WWJ) — A Michigan man turned $300 Michigan Lottery prize into a $714,891 progressive jackpot prize playing the Super Lucky 7s Fast Cash game.
The 39-year-old Kent County man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning ticket at Exit 76 – Meadowbrooke, located at 4919 Town Center Court Southeast in Grand Rapids.
“I usually play scratch off tickets, but I bought a $30 Jumbo Jackpot Slots Fast Cash ticket on a whim and ended up winning $300,” said the player in a statement. “When I cashed that ticket, I used $20 of my winnings to buy a Super Lucky 7s ticket.
“I scanned the ticket on the Michigan Lottery app and started shaking when I saw I’d won $714,891. The first thing I did was walk over and give the cashier a hug!”
With his winnings, the man plans to put some away for his children’s college funds, pay bills, and then save the rest.
