A man in Detroit was given the wrong lottery ticket at a gas station after he stopped to put air in a tire. He needed change for the air machine and also asked for a $10 Lucky 7’s scratch-off ticket.
“The clerk handed me the $20 ticket by mistake. He offered to exchange it for me but something told me to keep it. I am sure glad I did!” the man said in a statement released by the Lottery.
The name of the 57-year-old man wasn’t released. He decided to take a lump sum of about $1.3 million instead of $2 million spread over many years, the Lottery said.
Jack Kulp and Carolyn McArdle talked about it on the air! Listen below...
