On Friday September 24, a man, 57, was found dead on a beach in the town of Caseville, Michigan, with a winning lottery ticket in his pocket, report it New York Post. The investigators “concluded in an accidental death by drowning”, one explains in the columns of the newspaper Progress.
“He’s a great guy, he was there every day,” said the bar owner. When he won, he was “super excited”, she commented. Before his death, Gregory Jarvis had just won $ 45,000 (approximately 38,000 euros) in the Club Keno lottery in the bar “Le Blue Water“, last September 13, but the man could not cash his winnings. He was waiting for the renewal of his Social Security card to recover the jackpot.
As explained by our colleagues, those who win over $ 600 at the “Michigan Lottery” must present their photo ID and their “up to date” Social Security card to leave with their check.
According to the first elements of the investigation, Gregory Jarvis allegedly hit his head on a pontoon before falling into the water. Despite the tragedy, his family was able to collect the $ 45,000.
