The winner of the Michigan Lottery $2,000,000 Lucky 7’s instant game, a 29-year-old man, has decided to keep his identity private.

According to a statement from the Lottery, the man expressed his overwhelming emotions upon winning the prize, stating, “Having faced the loss of everything in a flood last year, this victory carries immense significance to me.” He further explained that although he usually does not purchase $20 tickets, he was compelled to do so while making a brief stop on his way to pick up his children. The man noticed the Lucky 7’s ticket, which resonated with him as seven holds personal significance as a lucky number. Encouraged by this connection, he took a leap of faith and acquired the ticket.

Instead of opting for annuity payments totaling $2 million, the individual who purchased the ticket at Anna’s Market in Midland chose to receive a single lump sum of $1.3 million.
