The anonymous man shared with the Michigan Lottery that at first when he realized he had won, he thought it was for much smaller amount:

“I bought my ticket out of a self-serve machine and scratched it off, At first, I thought I won $5,000, and then I found another word to make 10 for a $1 million prize. It was awesome! Winning feels like a huge blessing and means I can retire earlier than I planned.”

 

After driving to the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim his prize he decided to go with the cash option which was around $693,000, which he plans to save for his earlier retirement.

Every $20 King Cashword ticket gives players a chance to win prizes starting at $20 all the way up to $1 million.

There are still more than $44 million in prizes remain, including two $1 million top prizes, 18 $5,000 prizes, and 402 $1,000 prizes so it might be worth checking out.
