Michigan Lottery fans, a woman from Grand Rapids has been lucky enough to win in the Michigan Lottery’s Lucky for Life game. This prize will award her $25,000 a year for life.
Terri McKellar, the winner, could not believe she had won after purchasing her ticket at the Fuller Quick Stop. She did, however, choose to receive a lump sum of $390,000 instead of the yearly installments of $25,000.
