(WWJ) A Macomb County woman plans to pay off her car and save for retirement after being surprised by a pretty big win on a lucky Fast Cash lottery ticket.
The 39-year-old player, bought her winning Super Lucky 7s ticket on November 16, at Romeo Vandyke Liquor on Van Dyke in Romeo, according to the Michigan Lottery.
"Every few weeks, me and my husband will go to the store and buy a bunch of tickets and then come home and scratch them off," said the player, who opted to remain anonymous. "While we were at the store, I saw the Fast Cash jackpot was getting close to $1 million, so I bought a few Fast Cash tickets.
"When we got home, I looked over the Fast Cash ticket and thought it was a non-winner, but I scanned it on the Michigan Lottery app to be sure. When the amount of $925,434 came up on the screen, I thought something was wrong with the scanner. I looked the ticket over again and when I saw I really did win, I was mind-blown!"
