LANSING, MI – A Detroit lottery club has decided to reinvest smaller winnings and has turned a gain of $ 18 into a million dollars.
"The jackpot was becoming so important that some of us decided to put money together to buy tickets," said Curt McCoy, representative of the Eva & Angels lottery club. "My sister, my nieces and a family friend all joined to try the $ 1.5 billion jackpot.
"We did not win the jackpot, but we won $ 18. We thought the money had already been spent, so we reinvested the $ 18 in other Mega Millions tickets, and we are all very happy! "
The club matched the five white balls drawn – 01-28-61-62-63 – for the draw held on October 26 to win the award. they bought their winning ticket at the Meijer gas station, located at 9701 Belleville Road in Belleville.
"I realized that someone had won at the gas station where I had bought our tickets, so I rushed to the store to scan the tickets," McCoy said. When the seller scanned the ticket, I could tell his face that we had won big! "
The five members will each earn $ 200,000 before tax deduction. They visited the Michigan lottery headquarters in Lansing on Tuesday to claim the prize.
"We are all looking forward to being debt free and taking a well-deserved vacation," McCoy said.
