A 56-year-old from Michigan won $100,000 in the lottery but almost didn’t receive his money. He ignored a call from an unknown number.
Washtenaw County – His phone rang. The 56-year-old looked at the display. It showed him a call from an unknown number. So he didn’t answer. That decision would have had near-fatal consequences for the man from Wishtenaw County, Michigan, who wishes to remain anonymous. Because whoever was trying to contact him was the Michigan Lottery. The American almost missed his lottery mega win of 100,000 dollars (equivalent to almost 103,000 euros).

“I got this mysterious phone call and then forgot about it”the lucky guy is now up fox2.detroit.com quoted. He checked his email later that evening. “There was a message from the lottery saying I won.”
The 56-year-old didn’t have the right luck on his side with his ticket in the summer. Only in the “Second Chance Game” was he selected as a random winner in a draw on August 31st.

Of course, when the man found out about his happiness, he was over the moon. “I was so excited, I don’t know if I slept an hour,” he explains fox2.detroit.com further. “The first thing I did the next morning was call the lottery and make an appointment to collect my prize.”
It’s a dream come true for anyone who hits the jackpot. For a father and son from Upper Bavaria, a lottery win of 1.74 million came in particularly handy at the end of September after a “difficult time”.
