Not once, but twice lottery winner – won $500 and invested $100 in another ticket, wins $2.39 million

A Michigan man who won $500 playing 6-6-6 in a Daily 3 lottery drawing used $100 of the winnings to buy Fast Cash tickets and ended up winning a jackpot of $2.39 million.

The Shiawassee County man told Michigan Lottery officials that his luck started with a $500 win in the Daily 3 drawing.

"I played 6-6-6 on some Daily 3 tickets and won big. I decided to use $100 of my winnings to buy some Fast Cash tickets because the jackpot was so big," the player said.

The man purchased $100 worth of Jackpot Slots Millionaire tickets from King's Corner Market in Owosso.

"As soon as the salesperson handed me the tickets, I glanced at them to see if I had won anything. I was shocked to see that I had hit the $2.39 million jackpot! We started celebrating in the store and then I made the best phone call I've ever made to tell my family and friends the news! Everyone was so happy for me and my wife," said the winner.

He said he will use the profits to pay off debts and make investments. /Telegraph/
