A man from the US state of Illinois said he only ended up winning a $9,200,000 lottery jackpot because he was having trouble with a vending machine, UPI reports.

The player told Illinois Lottery officials his winning story began with a grocery-buying trip to the Jewel store in Addison.

The player said he ran into some trouble while using the lottery vending machine, but the ticket ended up scoring the man a $9,200,000 prize in the August 24 lotto drawing.
