For most of us that will never actually happen, but for one Michigan man it did when he bought a Diamond Wild Time Progressive ticket from the Michigan Lottery.

The anonymous 76 year old man from St. Clair County shared with the Michigan Lottery how he won big.

“I saw the Fast Cash jackpot was over $1 million, so I bought a ticket, I looked the ticket over when I got home and saw a match with ‘Jackpot’ underneath, but I had to scan the ticket on the Lottery app to double check it. I was so happy and excited when the scanner confirmed my $1.35 million win!”
