Michigan man won $835k this year after winning online lottery twice
A Michigan resident won almost $836,000 this year by playing the Michigan Lottery's Big Cash Second Chance Jackpot Prize, according to Lottery Post.
A 62-year-old man from Macomb County, part of northern metro Detroit, won $573,617 after he was selected in a random drawing that took place Aug. 9.
In the Big Cash Second Chance game, players earn one entry for every $0.50 wagered playing the eligible games. Once the entry period ends, a winner is randomly selected from all entries for the month.
The Progressive jackpot prize grew to $573,617 for July, in which the Macomb County man won from his multiple entries.
"I play the BIG CA$H games online because I like the chance to win the progressive prize," said the Macomb County man. "When I won earlier this year, it was a huge surprise, but it was an even bigger surprise that I won a second time."
In February, the Macomb County man won $261,935 in the Big Cash Second Chance game drawing.
"I never expected to win, and winning twice has been such a blessing. Being able to invest this money for my retirement means I can retire sooner than I was planning to and spend time with my family."
