"My friend has a cabin in the U.P. which we go to often, so we always stop to buy lottery tickets on the way there and on the way home," a club member tells the Michigan Lottery.

The group of friends stopped at the Trout Lake Speedy Mart to grab some drinks and a few lottery tickets. Trout Lake is about 30 miles northwest of St. Ignace. When they got back on the road, the passengers got to work scratching the instant tickets.

"When I scratched off the prize amount of $2 million, my heart started pounding and I felt like I was having a heart attack,” said the club member. “I told my friend we just won $2 million and handed him the ticket. It was unbelievable!" the player said.
