Best wedding gift ever: Michigan couple wins $1 million day after getting married

A Michigan man won $1 million off a scratcher ticket the day after his wedding. The winner said he bought the ticket and gave to his bride to scratch off.

From wedding bells to a six figure cha-ching, a Michigan man won $1 million dollars the day after their wedding day, according to the Michigan Lottery Connect.

Michigan lottery officials say a 57-year-old from Livingston County, who wished to remain anonymous, bought the winning ticket, a Diamonds and Pearls instant game, from a Prudenville E-Z Mart.

The groom told the Michigan Lottery Connect that he had his bride scratch the ticket for him. 

"When she revealed the ‘$1 MIL’ prize amount, we were in disbelief. We kept reading the instructions over and over again to make sure we really won. It was an exciting couple of days for us!" the million dollar winner said.

According to the Michigan Lottery Connect, players have won more than $14 million playing Diamonds & Pearls, which launched in August.
