CALHOUN COUNTY, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – A 52-year-old Calhoun County man has won the largest jackpot to date in the Michigan Lottery’s BIG CA$H Second Chance game.
The man chose to remain anonymous after winning a jackpot of $729,743. He was selected in a random drawing that took place September 13.
He earned entries into the giveaway by playing the eligible BIG CA$H Second Chance Jackpot games online at MichiganLottery.com.
He told Lottery officials, “I play online a lot and was familiar with the BIG CA$H Second Chance jackpot, but never imagined that I would actually win. When I saw the email from the Lottery with the prize amount, my eyes got really big! I thought it was a scam, but decided I would look more into it when I got home later that day. I verified the information in the email with what was on MichiganLottery.com and then called the Lottery to confirm my prize. You always think, ‘What if,’ but you never think it will actually happen to you until one day it does!”
The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his big prize. He plans to pay bills, invest, and have some fun with his family with his winnings.
