Michael, who is 61 years old, was staying in the Aspen Homeless Shelter, but he never lost hope that his life would change for the better. Even though buying a $10 lottery ticket was pure luck, he’s sure glad that he bought it that day.

The Eternal Splendor scratch card that Michael bought had odds of 840,000 to 1. He was a lucky man that day, and let’s hope he really makes the best out of his good fortune.
