“My mom plays Lucky For Life, and I decided to add the Michigan Lottery app to my phone so I could play, too,” said Boyd. “As we were picking our numbers, my mom said: ‘My momma needs to send us a blessing.’ That’s when I added her birthday to my numbers. When I saw what I had won, I couldn’t believe it!”
Boyd visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim her prize. She chose to receive his winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of $390,000, rather than annuity payments of $25,000 a year for 20 years or life, whichever is greater. With her winnings she plans to take a trip to Chicago with her mom and then save the remainder.
