An Oakland County, Michigan, man says he spent months avoiding a Detroit Lions-themed lottery game because it never seemed to bring him any luck. Then one forgotten request at a gas station led to a $1.05 million jackpot and a life-changing surprise.
According to the Michigan Lottery and local media outlets, the 68-year-old winner claimed a $1.05 million progressive jackpot prize in June 2026, after playing the Detroit Lions Rush For Riches Fast Cash game. The man, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased the winning ticket at a Speedway gas station in South Lyon, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Detroit.
