BERRIEN COUNTY, MI — A two-member Michigan lottery club hit the largest-ever Fast Cash jackpot, according to lottery officials.
The 126 Lottery Club bought a Detroit Lions Rush for Riches Fast Cash ticket in January at the American Legion Post 51 located at 403 E. Front St. in Buchanan, which is about 70 miles southwest of Kalamazoo, lottery officials said.
The club initially thought it was a $50 winner, but then learned it was worth $4.14 million after scanning it on the app.
