He also makes sure to buy a Lucky for Life ticket for 10 or 20 draws, according to the Michigan Lottery.
On September 17, the retailer at a GoLo gas station made a mistake, accidentally printing a ticket with 10 lines for a single draw, Sopejstal told the Lottery.
Sopejstal told the retailer he still wanted it.
“I checked my ticket one morning and saw that I had won $25,000 a year for life,” he told Lottery officials.
Sopejstal told the Lottery he plans to use his prize money to travel and save the rest.
