A Kent County woman turned a Michigan Lottery deposit promotion into a $495,002 prize playing the Michigan Jackpot online instant draw game at Michiganmilotteryconnect.casinowinning.net. 2u5z37

“I got an email from the Michigan Lottery for an online promotion, so I decided to test my luck on the Michigan Jackpot game,” said the player, who chose to remain anonymous. “Within my first five plays, I won $500! I told myself I would cash out if I got down to $300, and just before I did, I hit for the jackpot!

“My husband wasn’t home, so I called him screaming to tell him that I had just won, and he asked: ‘Are you sure you have the comma in the right place?’”

The 54-year-old player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With her winnings she plans to pay off her home, buy a new vehicle, and take a “dream vacation.”
