Michigan Woman Wins Million Dollar Birthday Gift In Lottery Jackpot

One Michigan woman received the birthday gift of a lifetime after winning a lottery cash prize.

According to the Official Michigan Lottery website, a Detroit woman won $1 million after playing Michigan Lottery's $1,000,000 Jumbo Cash instant game.

The 68-year-old woman told Michigan Lottery that her brother gifted her the scratch-off ticket.

"My brother buys me a Lottery ticket for my birthday every year," the woman told Michigan Lottery. "I scratched the ticket, and when I saw I won $1 million, I was in complete shock."

The ticket was purchased from Parkway Foods on East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit.

"I am happy when I win $20, so winning a $1 million prize is an amazing feeling," said added.

The lucky player asked to remain anonymous. Instead of annuity payments, she decided to receive her money in a one-time lump-sum payment of $634,000.

She plans on buying a new car and sharing the rest of the money with her family.

If interested in participating in other Michigan Lotteries, the next Michigan Powerball drawing is estimated to be worth $363 million.

The Mega Millions drawing is also this week. It has an estimated jackpot of $171 million, and the Fantasy 5 has an estimated jackpot of $374,000.
