It has been another week of winners winning, so it’s once more worth exploring just how much they won and what they plan to do with their new earnings.
The beauty of the Michigan Lottery is that anybody could be a winner, so simply taking a chance every once in a while could pay life-changing dividends.
Without further ado, let’s dive into a few of the victors and where they’re at now as a result of their paydays.
The Million Dollar Score
A 69-year-old in Wayne County earned herself quite the feat when she turned a ticket playing the $1,000 large game into a seven-figure prize. She was in absolute disbelief when reading the numbers coming across, and this is something that is an absolute game-changer.
The reason for her playing was that her luck in Ruby Red Wild Time hadn’t been too good of late, and she wanted a change-up.
As soon as she got home and scratched it, she claimed to need to clean her glasses multiple times to make sure it was the real deal. And, of course, it was. With taxes on the winnings, the final number she brought was still a whopping $693,000. Not a bad day at all, and a reason to always give playing a try, as a big jackpot is just around the corner.
The woman chose to remain anonymous and for good measure. 7 Mile and Tel Mini Mart was the sight of the ticket being purchased, so they’re likely to get more people hoping to have the winner by stopping by the shop.
Other Reasons to Play
That is exactly why these games are around. It can be tough for some who play so often and find themselves unable to get that moment of triumph. But for the one time it does it, it really is all you need.
Whether it’s turning around luck or just hoping to pad something already great, there is no harm in it, and folks should be encouraged to go try at least one time.
The huge score in Detroit was the biggest of the week in Michigan, though there was a Mega Millions player in Florida who won $39 million recently. More victors will emerge, so make sure to stay tuned as we bring it all to you.
