The woman matched the Fantasy 5 numbers in the May 2 drawing to win the big prize (01-09-12-17-31).
The 72-year-old player chose to remain anonymous.
She bought her winning ticket at the Sunoco, located at 25100 Little Mack Avenue in St. Clair Shores.
“I stopped to get gas and while I was in the gas station, I saw the Fantasy 5 jackpot was getting up there, so I bought a ticket,” said the woman. “I was watching TV later that night and checked my ticket when the winning numbers came up on the screen.”
The woman recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize.
With her winnings, she plans to renovate her house and then save the remainder.
