In a surprising turn of events, an ordinary shopping day turned into an unforgettable experience for Hugh Leach, an 82-year-old Michigan man. This lucky man won $2 million in the lottery after purchasing a ticket for the Diamonds & Gold game at the Meijer store in Mason.
The old man has a set routine: every 2 weeks, he invests $20 in a lottery ticket. However, he never imagined that this simple practice would change his life.
After finishing her grocery shopping, she decided to buy a ticket for her favorite lottery game. When she got home, after putting away her purchases, she proceeded to scratch the ticket. “I thought, ‘Wait a minute. This can’t be right,’” recalled Leach, who looked at the ticket several times before being convinced of her incredible luck.
To ensure his win, he called the lottery the next day. Once they confirmed his prize, he scheduled an appointment to claim his $2 million. This news has brought a breath of fresh air into Leach’s life, and he now plans to enjoy his win with prudence and gratitude.
