More Michiganders making national news scoring lottery money. While in Mount Morris at a Marathon gas station a lady heard a person complain about not winning with the scratch-off tickets she buys, "I was in line at the gas station and heard the person ahead of me complain that they bought a few $500 Fever tickets and didn't win anything."
That inspired her to try winning with the same scratch-off game the lady was losing with, "When I got to the counter, I asked the clerk to give me the next ticket on the roll."
Let the winning begin, "I scratched the barcode, scanned it, and got a 'cannot process' message. I scratched the rest of the ticket, thinking maybe I won a little bit of money, so I couldn't believe it when I saw I'd won $500,000. I knew what I was seeing but I didn't want to get too excited until I called the Lottery and confirmed." More here.
