Man Wins $1M After Missing One Letter | Grand Rapids News

A Michigan man thought he won $5,000 on a scratch-off—until he noticed a missed letter that turned his prize into a whopping $1 million. At 75, he drove over an hour to the lottery office in Grand Rapids still shaking with disbelief. He chose a lump-sum payout of about $693,000 after taxes and plans to use part of it to help others and set up a trust for his kids. This win highlights how a simple game can change lives—and reminds us that every dollar spent on Michigan’s lottery supports public schools, with over $1 billion going back to the School Aid Fund last year. Sometimes, the biggest surprises are just waiting to be seen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
