Lottery Printing Error Turns Gas Station Employee's Mistake into $25,000 Annual Payout

A gas station employee's mistake led to Michael Sopejstal winning $25,000 a year for life in the Michigan Lottery. Sopejstal, who lives in Illinois, regularly buys Lucky for Life tickets when he visits Michigan. On September 17, the gas station accidentally printed a ticket with 10 lines for a single draw, and Sopejstal decided to keep it. He recently claimed his prize and opted for a one-time lump sum payment of $390,000. Sopejstal plans to use the money for travel and savings.
