Samir Mazahem,56, purchased a ticket for two dollars for the June 09 Mega Millions game via a lottery ticket app and said he was saving the numbers. After making the purchase, he realized he purchased another ticket with the same numbers and said, “I was a little bummed but didn’t think much about it.”
“I went online and bought a ticket using numbers that are family birthdays. I forgot to save the numbers as favorites in the app, so I went back in and set them up as favorites so I could easily play them in the future,”
Several weeks later, the Dearborn Heights resident logged into the app and saw that he actually won $2 million dollars!
“It took several days for the reality to set in that my mistake had paid off to the tune of $2 million!”
