If you've got old lottery tickets in your wallet, this one's for you. Michael Vander Lugt, 54, of Wyoming, handed a cashier a few old Powerball tickets to pay for a pop when he came up short on cash. One scan told him to file a claim at the lottery office, and he checked the numbers in his car.
That ticket, bought for the Saturday, Aug. 8 drawing, matched five white balls and won $1 million. Vander Lugt plans to pay off his mortgage and invest the rest. Cars 108 notes the Michigan Lottery puts the combined Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots at $1.2 billion.
