Please rewrite your sentence so that I can assist you better.

We’ve all experienced it before, patiently waiting at the reception location while the wedding party is off somewhere with the photographer. It can be quite a lengthy process, as the wedding photos are often taken at a park or church that’s a good 20 minutes away, and at a specific time of day to capture the perfect lighting. Additionally, the photographer always seems to have another brilliant idea for a picture, which adds an extra 10 minutes to the whole staging process.

With smartphones, filling the time has become slightly more convenient than before.

A life-altering choice was made by a Michigan man when he decided to pull out his phone during the idle time between the ceremony and the reception, especially since his wife was part of the bridal party.

Mike Hanley informed the Michigan lottery that he had attended a wedding with his wife on Saturday. Due to her involvement in the wedding, he found himself sitting alone before dinner. Motivated by the significantly increased Powerball jackpot, he made the impulsive decision to purchase a ticket online.

Hanley was surprised to discover that he had won $100,000 after purchasing a ticket on his phone from the Michigan Lottery’s online website. The following day, when he checked the numbers, he realized that he had matched four out of the five numbers that were likely drawn during the time between the Cha-Cha Slide and the garter belt toss.

Hanley intends to allocate the funds from the Detroit Free Press towards settling bills, clearing his wife’s student loan, and contributing to charitable causes.
