A 69-year-old man from Ottawa County won the $667,862 Double Win Wild Time Fast Cash progressive jackpot. The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased his ticket at Freeman's Leaky Tap in Walkerville, a location known for selling winning tickets, including a major prize the previous year, as reported by CBS News Detroit.

A Michigan man, who regularly plays Fast Cash games, had a fortunate experience while dining with his family. "I play Fast Cash games all the time," he said in a statement obtained by Michigan Lottery Connect. "I bought a few Fast Cash tickets while I was out to eat with my family and saw I matched number 44 with 'Jackpot' underneath. I handed the ticket to my son and jokingly said: 'What does jackpot mean?' He freaked out and scanned the ticket on his Lottery app to double check it." The man was surprised by his win, and it quickly sparked thoughts of sharing his newfound wealth.

The winner of a recent lottery prize plans to use the money to help his family, charities, and his church. He said, "Winning is a nice little kicker and will allow me to help others." The ticket was purchased at Freeman's Leaky Tap, a retailer known for selling winning tickets, including a $111,368 Jackpot Slots Fast Cash jackpot in January 2024. Fast Cash games are instant-win tickets, with jackpots that grow as more tickets are purchased. Ticket prices range from $2 to $30, as mentioned by Michigan Lottery Connect.
