A man wins a big jackpot when his wife sent him to a nearby store

A Michigan man found being sent to the store by his wife to be a lucky turn of events when he bought a lottery ticket and won $190,736.

Preston Maki, 46, of Marquette, told Michigan Lottery officials he wouldn't have bought his Fantasy 5 ticket from the Meijer store in Marquette if it hadn't been for a message from his wife.

"I was finishing up my day at work when my wife sent me a text message asking me to make a stop for groceries on my way home," Maki said.

"I usually don't play Fantasy 5 unless the jackpot is more than $200,000, but I saw it was close and decided to buy five easy picks." The player said he checked the ticket the next day.
