An Oakland County man won $472,139 playing the Michigan Lottery's 50X The Cash Fast Cash game.
"I always buy Fast Cash tickets when I'm leaving a bar or restaurant because I feel like that's when I'm luckiest," said the 71-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. "I bought a 50X The Cash ticket after dinner as I was leaving McClenaghan's Irish Pub Tuesday and nearly passed out when I saw I had won. I was so shaken up, I had to get a ride home from a friend!"
McClenaghan's Irish Pub is located at 52500 Van Dyke in Shelby Township.
With his winnings, the player plans to pay bills, complete some home renovations and then invest the remainder.
"I just keep thinking: 'Did I really win?' It feels like I'm dreaming and probably will until the money hits my hands," the player said.
Fast Cash games are a series of instant-win games that print from terminals at Lottery retailers. Fast Cash tickets range in price from $1 per play up to $20 per play.
