HOWELL (WWJ) -- What does it feel like to win $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket?
A Livingston County woman said she was shaking after scratching off the big win on Michigan Lottery's Millionaire Maker II ticket.
The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought the winning ticket at the USA 2 Go gas station at 1900 North Latson Road in Howell.
“I play $10 and $20 games pretty regularly,” said the 57-year-old player. “When I scratched this ticket off, I had to put it down and look it back over several times before I really believe what I was seeing.”
She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum of about $634,000 rather than receiving annuity payments totaling $1 million.
The winner said she plans to invest the money.
