An Oakland County woman was in such disbelief after winning a $682,784 Jumbo Jackpot Slots Fast Cash prize, that she kept it a secret for several weeks.
The 87-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket Dec. 30 at the Square Lake Marathon gas station, located at 5977 Livernois Road in Troy.

“I play Fast Cash once a week,” said the player. “Right after I bought the ticket, I looked it over and saw three jackpot symbols. I knew what I was seeing, but I didn’t believe it. I had a friend look the ticket over, and he confirmed I wasn’t seeing things and really did win the jackpot!
“I had a hard time believing I’d really won, so I kept it to myself for a while. After a few weeks, I finally told my family. They couldn’t believe that I was able to keep it a secret for so long and were ecstatic!”
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the prize. With her winnings, she plans to complete some home improvements and invest.
