A Fraser man recently won $1 million using numbers he has played on lottery tickets for decades after getting them from an animatronic fortune-teller machine, according to the Michigan Lottery.
Stephen Huesgen, 56, told the Michigan Lottery he received the numbers from a Zoltar machine in Las Vegas about 30 years ago and has played them ever since.
He used them again for the April 22 Powerball drawing, matching all five white balls – 24, 29, 32, 49 and 63.
“The morning after the Powerball drawing, I saw an email from the Lottery, which is when I found out I’d won a $1 million Powerball prize,” he told the Michigan Lottery. “I yelled to my wife: ‘Is this real?’ I don’t think this is going to fully hit me until I cash the check!”
He plans to use the money to pay off his house and car, take a vacation and save for retirement.
