What an Oakland County man thought was his unlucky game turned out to be his lucky game after winning a $1.05 million progressive jackpot playing the Michigan Lottery’s Detroit Lions Rush For Riches Fast Cash game!

“Whenever I stop to get gas and the Fast Cash jackpot is over $700,000, I’ll buy a few tickets,” said the lucky 68-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “When I buy Fast Cash tickets, I hand the cashier money and tell them to give me any of the Fast Cash games, but lately I’ve been saying any except the Detroit Lions game because I hadn’t been having luck with it. I forgot to tell the cashier that this time, and the Detroit Lions game is what he printed for me. I never check my tickets right away, so I folded it up and put it in my pocket.

“The next morning when I looked over the ticket and saw I’d won the jackpot, I stopped my wife as she was walking by, handed her the ticket, and said: ‘You’re not going to believe this!’ Once she saw what I’d won, she started crying. It was an exciting and emotional day for us.

“All I’ve been thinking since winning is how glad I am that I forgot to tell the cashier not to give me the Detroit Lions game!”

The player bought his winning ticket at the Speedway gas station, located at 22380 Pontiac Trail in South Lyon. South Lyon is about 20 miles northeast of Ann Arbor. He recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With his winnings, he plans to take care of his family.
