**BREAKING: MICHIGAN MAN’S UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO LOTTERY DRAWINGS PAYS OFF IN BIG WAY**
In a stunning turn of events, 32-year-old Bob Smith of Traverse City, Michigan, has won a whopping $110,000 jackpot after refusing to miss a single lottery drawing while on vacation in Hawaii.
According to sources close to the Smith family, Bob was determined to check his lottery tickets every day, no matter what. And by “every day,” we mean he checked them every. single. day. For two weeks straight. While snorkeling. While surfing. Even while getting a tattoo of his favorite lottery numbers on his bicep.
“I just didn’t want to miss my chance at winning big,” said Bob, still in shock from his good fortune. “I mean, what if I missed the drawing on, like, Tuesday? My life would be ruined!”
Bob’s friends and family described his daily ritual as “obsessive” and “slightly unhealthy.” But Bob didn’t care. He was on a mission to win.
And win he did. After checking his ticket for the umpteenth time, Bob let out a loud whoop and did a victory dance on the beach, much to the amusement of his fellow vacationers.
“I was like, ‘I’ve got to check my ticket again… just in case,'” said Bob, chuckling. “And then I saw the numbers and I was like, ‘WHOA, DID I JUST WIN $110,000?!’ My wife was like, ‘Bob, calm down, you’re going to hurt yourself.'”
When asked what he plans to do with his winnings, Bob replied, “Well, first things first, I’m going to buy a yacht. And then I’m going to check my lottery ticket every day for the rest of my life. Just in case.”
The Michigan Lottery Commission has confirmed that Bob’s win is one of the largest in state history, and he’s set to receive his prize money in a ceremonial check presentation next week.
In related news, Bob’s wife has been spotted shopping for a new pair of “I’m with the lottery winner” t-shirts.
