GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WKRC) – A Kent County woman struck it rich after a spontaneous decision led her to win a $1 million prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s Wild Cherry instant game.
“The store didn’t have the game I wanted to buy, so I decided to try my luck on the Wild Cherry game,” said the lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, to Michigan Lottery Connect. “I scratched the bar code and scanned the ticket. When I read the message that I needed to file a claim I thought I had won $10,000.”
The woman recounted how she handed the ticket back to the clerk for verification. “She helped me scratch the rest of it off, and when she saw I had hit $1 million, she screamed: ‘She just won $1 million!’”…
