Lottery winner didn’t think his 7-figure payout was real. ‘What does this mean?’

Confused over the “$2MIL” symbol that appeared on his lottery ticket, a Michigan man asked his mother for help deciphering what it meant.

It couldn’t possibly mean he won $2 million, the man thought.

But he had.

The man from Wayne County became the second person to win the $2 million jackpot prize offered in the 100X lottery game, Michigan Lottery officials said. He bought his ticket at a convenience store in Canton.

“I don’t usually play the 100X game, but I bought a few on a whim while I was at the store,” the 32-year-old player told lottery officials in a Sept. 29 news release.

The “$2MIL” text was visible after the man scratched off one of the tickets, but it left him confused.

“I kept asking myself: ‘What does this mean?’ because I didn’t believe I really won $2 million at first,” he said.

When his mother confirmed his big win, he said he was so excited he “didn’t know what to do with (himself).”

The 100X game costs $20 to play and odds of winning one of the three $2 million prizes are 1 in 2,188,143.

He accepted the one-time lump sum payment of $1.3 million and told lottery officials he plans on saving his winnings.

“I don’t think it’s going to fully sink in until I cash the check,” he said.

Canton is about a 30-mile drive west from Detroit.
