An Oakland County woman’s “in it to win it” mentality paid off when she won $100,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Extreme Green instant game online.

“I always forgot to purchase draw game tickets while I was at the store, so I started buying tickets online and playing other online games,” said the 62-year-old player who chose to remain anonymous. “When the $100,000 amount popped up while I was playing, I didn’t think it was real. It wasn’t until I saw the prize amount in my account balance that I believed I had actually won. It was shocking!”
