“I like to play a variety of Lotter games, so I purchased a few tickets when I was getting groceries,” said Waver. “About a week later I checked the tickets. When I realized I’d won $1 million I was blown away!”
According to the Michigan Lottery, Waver plans to use the money to pay off student debt and pay it forward.
