Lottery winners in Michigan and the Czech Republic claim multi‑million prizes

A 68‑year‑old man from Oakland County, Michigan, bought a "Detroit Lions" lottery ticket by mistake and discovered it was a winning ticket worth more than $1.05 million (about €918 000). He said the unexpected win will help his family financially.

Patricia Langeová and her husband, owners of a party‑supply shop in Indian River, Czech Republic, matched nine of twenty numbers in the May 25 draw and won a six‑figure prize of $100 000. The couple plans to use the money to pay bills and restock their store for the upcoming season.
