Jan. 27 (UPI) —<\/span> A Michigan man who used lottery winnings to buy more scratch-off tickets said he didn’t realize he had won $1 million until he scanned the winning ticket.<\/p>\n The 60-year-old Wayne County man told Michigan Lottery officials he decided to use some of the $500 he won from a scratch-off lottery ticket to try his luck again.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n “I won $500 on a scratch-off ticket and used the winnings to purchase a few Triple Million tickets,” the man said. “I scratched the tickets off when I got to my car, and I didn’t think I won anything, but scanned them on the lottery app to be sure.”<\/p>\n He said he was shocked to realize one of the Triple Million tickets he bought from the CVS store in Taylor was a top prize winner.<\/p>\n “When a message came up that I’d won $1 million, I was confused. I looked the ticket over again and that’s when I realized that I really had won $1 million. I couldn’t believe I missed it,” he said.<\/p>\n The man said his winnings will go toward paying bills, making investments and bolstering his savings.<\/p>\n “Winning is a great feeling and will provide a nice financial cushion for me when the time comes to retire,” the player said.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Wayne County, Mich., man said used lottery winnings on more scratch-off tickets, and nearly missed that one of them was a $1 million winner.
