Whenever someone wins a big sum of cash, it’s generally life-changing. When you win the Michigan Lottery, absolutely everything is different from before; the amount in your account. The spending tendencies will certainly shift. And the stress of work and having to continue to work your tail off to earn can fall away just a bit.
As we look at the latest win, today’s is as special as any. How does a two-million win sound? Not too shabby. Let’s talk about the woman who is going crazy after coming away with the win.
How It Came To Pass
A 61-year-old woman, who opted to remain anonymous in all interviews, has been playing the lottery for her whole life. And as many before her, she has never won anything significant in doing so. It’s a hobby that may eventually pay off for herself. And this time, did it ever. Jackpot. She hit it big.
At the Sunoco Gas Station, she decided to purchase a ticket during her visit. And the ticket that she wound up selecting was a huge winner. As soon as she scratched the ticket and saw all of the matching numbers, she was in absolute disbelief. And like most who have had this feeling before her, words really tended to fail her.
When you’re talking about millions, it’s easy to understand why folks may go a little numb with excitement and not have too many big words to use to describe the raw emotion they’re experiencing.
Some folks will spend big right after something like this happens, while others will splurge immediately, believing that they and those close to them deserve brand spanking new things. So, how will our winner be spending her winnings?
The Plan For The Money
After scratching off the winning ticket and having choices of how to claim her money, the winner wanted it all in one fell swoop. And with that, the total came out to nearly $1.2 million after all the taxes. Macomb County was the place where it happened, and now that she’s got it, she doesn’t have any lofty plans for it.
Until she decides what to spend it on, the plan will be to keep it in her savings and wait for something to come along. No rush. After all, it’s not going anywhere.
