A Michigan woman used birthday money from her aunt to play an online lottery game. One $20 wager later, she was looking at a $150,000 prize, according to the Michigan Lottery.
The 47-year-old Oakland County woman used the money in her aunt’s birthday card to buy an online game card, the Lottery reported. She then played Lucky Coins Disco Pig, a Michigan Lottery online instant game.
