"I buy tickets twice a week, and I had hit for $500 on my previous purchase so I decided to buy five of the $150 Million Cash Explosion tickets," the player said.
The man said he scratched off the barcodes while still inside the Smoker's Outlet of Warren store and used the shop's scanner to see if he had won any prizes.
"The first was a $100 winner and the last one said to file a claim," the player said.
The last ticket turned out to be a $4 million top prize winner.
"When I saw that message, I knew it had to be big. I finished scratching the ticket and I was floored when I saw the $4 million prize. I'm still in shock and, I know it won't hit me until the check is in the bank," the winner said.
The man said his winnings will allow him to buy a new vehicle, travel and share some money with his family.
"I keep looking at the ticket expecting to realize that I am seeing it wrong, I can't believe I won $4 million," the player said.
