Michigan Woman Hits $1M Jackpot on Instant Lottery Ticket
Imagine buying a lottery ticket on a whim and becoming an instant millionaire. Sounds unreal, right? Well, it happened for real in Oakland County, Michigan. A 40-year-old local woman bagged a staggering $1 million prize on a Hamilton instant lottery ticket.
“My husband and I are regulars at buying instant lottery tickets,” the woman confessed, adding, “We have always had this gut feeling that we would hit the jackpot one day, and it’s an absolute Godsend that it actually happened!” Keeping her identity under wraps, the winner revealed her rollercoaster of emotions as she won the massive lottery prize.
The lucky $10 ticket that changed her life was bought from the Meijer gas station located at 1703 Haggerty in Commerce Township. Just imagine the thrill and disbelief of scratching off to find you are now a millionaire!
Other notable winners include a Fenton man who walked off with a neat $25,000 a year for life reward on a Michigan Lottery ticket, and a fortunate guy from Grand Rapids whose Powerball ticket purchased in Kentwood made him $1 million richer.
No longer just a commoner, our Oakland County lady recently claimed her prize money. Opting for a one-time lump sum payment instead of annuity payments, she walked away with approximately $693,000 post-tax. Her intentions? To buy a new car and tuck away the rest for the future.
What an amazing turn of fate for this ordinary Michigan woman! A simple scratch-off lottery ticket has indeed done wonders, transforming her life in a million ways, literally.
