Key Takeaways:

A Shiawassee County resident's lucky streak turned into a life-changing windfall when he claimed a record-breaking $2.39 million Fast Cash prize playing the Michigan Lottery's Jackpot Slots Millionaire game.

The anonymous winner's journey began with a successful Daily 3 ticket featuring the numbers 6-6-6. Buoyed by this initial success, he decided to reinvest $100 of his winnings into Fast Cash tickets, attracted by the substantial jackpot on offer.

"I played 6-6-6 on a couple of Daily 3 tickets and won big," the winner explained. "I decided to take $100 of my winnings and buy some Fast Cash tickets because the jackpot was so huge."

The decision proved to be a masterstroke. Upon receiving his tickets from the clerk at King's Corner Market of Owosso, located at 701 North Washington Street, the player immediately scanned them for any potential wins. To his astonishment, he discovered he had hit the jackpot for an astounding $2.39 million.

"As soon as the clerk handed me the tickets, I ran my eyes over them to see if I had won anything. I was absolutely shocked to see that I had hit the jackpot for $2.39 million!" the winner recounted. The celebration began right there in the store, followed by what he described as "the best phone call I've ever made" to share the news with family and friends.

This win establishes a new record for the largest prize ever won on the Fast Cash games, surpassing the previous record of $1.84 million set in November 2019 by Wayne County's Rodney Stokoszynski.

Michigan Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli commented on the significance of the win: "Winning a $500 prize for matching the Daily 3 is great, but turning that into a record-setting $2.39 million Fast Cash progressive jackpot win is incredible. Fast Cash games are great for players because they feature exciting prizes and great for retailers because the progressive jackpot attracts players as it grows and grows."

The fortunate winner plans to use his newfound wealth to pay off bills and invest the remainder, setting himself up for a more secure financial future.

For those interested in trying their luck, the Michigan Lottery offers 11 Fast Cash instant-win games, with ticket prices ranging from $2 to $30 per play. While the odds of winning such a substantial jackpot are slim, this recent win serves as a reminder of the life-changing potential these games can offer to lucky players.
