In Michigan, USA, a man won record jackpot -- $7.19 million -- thanks to his father's advice, UPI reported.
The 38-year-old man often bought tickets from Lotto 47 and always changed the numbers. However, one day his father told him that this strategy was not profitable. He advised his boy to choose specific numbers and always use only them. The son listened to him and did so for several years.
In the end, the man got lucky. He knew his dad was right when he saw an email from Lotto 47 about the jackpot. “The win seems surreal. "I still can't get used to being a millionaire," he shared his impressions. The man plans to use the money he earns for investments and his children's college education.
Michigan Lottery officials said the $7.19 million is the largest amount ever won on a ticket purchased on MichiganLottery.com.
