A man in Detroit, Michigan, won US$2 million after he was accidentally given the wrong ticket.
The 57-year-old man, who has not released his name, stopped at a petrol station in Michigan to pump up the air in one of his tyres.
He needed some change so asked to swapa note for some coins for the air machine and also asked for a $10 Lucky 7's scratch-off ticket.
"The clerk handed me the $20 ticket by mistake. He offered to exchange it for me but something told me to keep it. I am sure glad I did," the man said in a statement.
