**WARREN, MI** – A 43-year-old Macomb County man is celebrating a $4 million lottery win after a lucky double-check of his Michigan Lottery ticket. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased a $30 Magnificent Millions instant ticket at the 9 Mile Stop & Go on Van Dyke in Warren.

Initially, he believed he hadn’t won, discarding the ticket after a cursory scratch-off. However, a later scan at a gas station revealed a winning message, prompting him to re-examine the ticket. He discovered an unscratched section revealing the top prize.

“I thought I had scratched everything off and didn’t see any winning matches, so I tossed the ticket aside,” the winner explained to the Michigan Lottery. “When I scanned it and got the message to file a claim, I knew I had missed something.”

The man claimed his prize as a one-time lump sum payment of approximately $2.7 million. Two $4 million top prizes in the Magnificent Millions game remain unclaimed.
