(WWJ) “Winning a prize like this feels like such a blessing," she said.
A Southfield woman has won a $100,000 prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s Bonus Cashword instant game.
The Michigan Lottery says 35-year-old Caroline Amos bought her winning ticket at the Treasure Island Wine Shoppe, located at 24123 West 10 Mile Rd. in Southfield.
“My mom loves to play the Cashword game, so I decided to try it out,” said Amos. “When I finished scratching the ticket, I kept recounting the words because I couldn’t believe it. I took it to a retailer to scan it and that’s when I knew it wasn’t a dream.”
Amos visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize.
With her winnings, she plans to buy a house and a car.
