A Wayne County resident has won a $403,069 jackpot while playing the Michigan Lottery’s Michigan Jackpot online instant game. The 48-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, said she had a strong feeling she would eventually win.
“Michigan Jackpot is my favorite online game, and I’ve been pretty lucky playing it, so I had a gut feeling that I would win the jackpot one day,” she said. “I was in the middle of playing and started screaming and crying when the winning amount of $403,069 popped up on the screen! Winning such a large prize is overwhelming, exciting, and a huge blessing.”
She recently visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to use her winnings to pay bills and invest.
