“I made my usual stop for coffee on my way to work this morning and bought a 50X The Cash Fast Cash ticket,” said the player. “When I checked it in my car I couldn’t believe I had won. It took a few minutes for everything to sink in, but as soon as it did I called work and told them I needed the day off, rushed home to get my fiancé, and then headed straight to the Lottery office in Lansing.”
The player visited Lottery headquarters on Tuesday to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to buy a new house.
