Imagine arriving at a gas station to fill up your tank and leaving with millions and millions of dollars.

That is the reality for one Saginaw County resident after purchasing a few winning scratch-off tickets during his latest stop at a local gas station. According to UPI, the 52-year-old jackpot winner recently payed a visit to the Fastline convenience store on State Street in Saginaw with no idea that his life would soon change forever.

"I stopped to get gas and bought two $4,000,000 Ultimate tickets while I was in the store. I scratched the barcodes, scanned the first ticket, and got a message to file a claim. I scanned the ticket again, and when that message came up a second time, I thought the scanner was broken. I scanned the second ticket and that scanned correctly, so I wasn't sure what was going on."

It was not until both tickets were scratched off that the winner realized he'd won.

"I went out to my car to pump gas and I scratched the ticket while I was waiting. It's hard to describe the feeling when I saw the winning amount. I got in the car and yelled: 'We just won $4 million."'

The lucky lottery winner plans to buy a home and make investments with the money he's received.
