A St. Clair County man says he’s going on a European river cruise after winning a $1 million Mega Millions prize.

Ernest Rust was not looking at the prize amount incorrectly, Michigan lottery officials said in a Feb. 13 news release. He had hit the Mega Millions jackpot and won $1 million.

MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. — A Macomb County man who thought he'd bought a losing scratch-off ticket is still in shock after realizing he'd actually won millions. The 43-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought his Magnificent Millions ticket at the 9 Mile Stop & Go in Warren.

With his winnings, Ernest Rust plans to take a European river cruise and use the rest to supplement his retirement.

“I gave the tickets to my wife to scratch, and since she wasn’t wearing her glasses, she handed one to me and asked: ‘What does this mean?’ as she pointed to the money bag symbol,” the winner told the Michigan Lottery. “I said ‘this’ is a really, really big winner!”
