LANSING, Mich. — A man from Cadillac is now $100,000 richer because of a lottery ticket that originally didn't win him anything.
Scott Jaworski, 48, played the Michigan Lottery's 500X Money Maker Second Chance Game and ended up winning big.
To win the prize, he scanned his non-winning 500X Money Maker tickets on the Michigan Lottery app to be entered into a random drawing on Jan. 18.
“I’ve been scanning non-winning 500X Money Maker tickets for the second chance promotion,” Jaworski said. “I couldn’t believe it when I got a call from the Lottery telling me I won $100,000. I didn’t hear anything else the Lottery employee said after I heard $100,000 because I was so shocked. I’m still waiting for it to sink in. Winning is a huge relief and is going to be life-changing.”
Jaworksi said he plans to use the money to fix his motorcycle, pay bills and invest.
Anyone with a non-winning 500X Money Maker ticket can use it for a second chance to win a prize, just like Jaworski did, by scanning it on the app's ticket scanner by June 21.
Six more second-chance drawings will be conducted, with the next being scheduled for Feb. 15.
