1/3/2008

BAD AXE, Mich. - A Huron County couple were a bit put out when a clerk at a Bad Axe gas station refused to cash their winning Michigan Lottery ticket.

Store owner Eli Kabban says the couple thought they had a $150 winner but were told they'd have to cash it in Lansing. He said the couple were "in shock" when he told them the ticket was actually worth $250,000.
