Ohio man wins $1M on Michigan lottery scratch-off ticket
An Ohio man won $1 million from the Michigan Lottery playing 'Triple Million'.
LANSING, Mich. (FOX 2) - The Michigan Lottery says an Ohio man is the lucky winner of a top prize of one of the state's $1 million scratch-off tickets.
The unnamed 32-year-old man won the $1 million top prize off the $10 Triple Million game after buying it at Gerth’s Beef & Deli in Temperance, about 40 miles southeast of Ann Arbor.
The man said he lives in the Buckeye State but has been working in Michigan and always has the same routine.
"I have been working in Michigan recently and I always stop at the same store to purchase a ticket while I’m here," said the player. "I scratched the ticket when I got in my car and went numb when I saw I won $1 million. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!"

The man's numbers were 4, 20, 3, 5, and 1. He matched the number 1 and under the prize, revealing the $1 million winnings.
