- A Michigan man won a $150K lottery prize, state lottery officials said Monday.
- Kim Busscher, 67, purchased the ticket before leaving on vacation.
A 67-year-old and his wife were basking in the sun on a beach when the couple found out they won a $150,000 Powerball prize.
Kim Busscher of Holland, Michigan purchased the ticket from a Shell gas station in February before going on vacation, the Michigan Lottery said on Monday. He said that he didn't want to miss out on the drawing.
"A few days later, I was sitting on the beach and decided to check my ticket. I saw someone won a $150,000 prize and then started checking off my numbers," Busscher told lottery officials, adding that he went to tell his wife.
"When I realized I was the big winner, I couldn't believe it!" he continued. "I had my wife look the ticket over to make sure I was reading it right and then we called our family to tell them the good news."
His ticket, according to the state lottery, matched the four white balls, as well as the Powerball, resulting in winning $50,000. Due to the Power Play option, his prize increased to a whopping $150,000.
Per the Michigan Lottery, Busscher recently collected his prize from lottery headquarters. He has major plans for his new fortune including saving it and sharing it with his loved ones. In addition, he wants to also donate some of the cash.
Earlier this month, a man brought a lottery scratch-off while on vacation in Florida and won $5 million, as Insider previously reported.
