He shared with Michigan Lottery officials how he was completely in disbelief when he scratched the ticket and discovered his win, saying:

“I buy a few Cashword tickets a week because I like them and think they’re fun. When I scratched the ticket and saw I won $300,000, I had to double, triple, and quadruple-check it. When I was sure of what I was seeing, I had my wife look it over too. She also counted 10 words, so then we called the Lottery to verify the big win!”

 

This Van Buren County man isn't the only one to win big playing the Michigan Lottery.
