Luck was on the side of a Wayne County man in more way than one recently after he won a $2 million prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s Legendary Wild Time instant game. The 53-year-old winner says he had no specific reason for playing the game and just happened to pick a jackpot-winning ticket. “Every once in a while, I’ll buy a lottery ticket and the Legendary Wild Time game was just a random pick that day,” said the winner, who chose to remain anonymous. “I scratched the ticket right after I bought it and didn’t believe it was real when I saw I’d won $2 million! It wasn’t until I called the Lottery and verified my prize that it started to sink in that this was really happening.”

He bought his ticket from a gas station on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, and he visited the lottery office in Lansing where he decided to take the lump sum payment worth $1.3 million. He plans to travel the world and then save the rest of his winnings for a rainy day later in life.
