The woman says says the cashier picked out the Lucky 7s game, but when she took it to the scanner the machine wouldn’t tell her anything, so she took it back to the counter.

“She walked back to the counter with a big smile on her face and told me I’d won, so I was thinking maybe $100 or $200. When she told me the winning amount, my legs gave out, I still feel like I’m in a daze.”

The woman bought her winning ticket at the Meijer store, located at 16300 Fort Street in Southgate.

She recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the prize.
