Michigan Man Wins $1 Million from Lottery After Reinvesting $100 Prize

A lucky streak at the lottery turned a $100 win into a $1 million jackpot for an Oakland County man, who plans to buy a retirement home and sponsor a child overseas.

  • A Michigan man reinvested $100 from a scratch-off lottery win into more tickets, landing a $1 million jackpot.
  • The 59-year-old winner, choosing to remain anonymous, initially thought the lottery scanner was broken when it displayed his million-dollar prize.
  • He opted for a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000 instead of annuity payments.
  • With his winnings, the man intends to purchase a retirement home with a pool and sponsor a child overseas.
  • The winning ticket was bought at a Meijer store in Commerce Township, about 36 miles northwest of Detroit.
