A store clerk’s lucky pick led to a Delta County woman winning a $2 million prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s $2,000,000 Cash Multiplier instant game.
The 30-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at North Bluff Grocery, located at 6287 State Highway M35 in Gladstone.
“I don’t buy instant tickets often, but I play the Daily Spin to Win game every day in hopes of winning the monthly $5,000 giveaway,” the player said. “I won a $20 coupon playing Daily Spin to Win, so I took it to the store and asked the clerk which ticket I should buy. She suggested the new $2,000,000 Cash Multiplier game, so that’s what I purchased.
“I scratched the ticket when I got home and had a hard time believing it was real when I saw I won $2 million. I called my dad, and he told me to take it to the retailer to double check it. When the retailer confirmed it was a winning ticket, I called my dad screaming as soon as I got in my car!”
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.3 million, rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to pay bills and invest.
