A Branch County man was brought to tears when he won a $403,909 Doubler Wild Time Progressive Fast Cash jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.
The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought his winning ticket at the Shell gas station, located at 128 Jonesville Street in Litchfield.
“I recently started playing this specific Fast Cash game and have been pretty lucky on it,” said the 30-year-old player. “I bought a ticket while I was at the gas station and started looking it over. I saw the ‘2’ and the jackpot symbol and just stared at it. I knew what I was seeing, but I couldn’t comprehend it. When it finally sunk in, I was brought to tears.”
The lucky player visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and invest.
“Winning is a huge relief. I can pay off all my bills and plan for the future,” the player said.
