LANSING, Mich. – A Macomb County woman who always thought she was going to win big has won a $1.72 million Michigan Lottery prize.

The 62-year-old winner, who has remained anonymous, bought her winning ticket on the Michigan Lottery website.

“I play Lotto 47 online often and I always had the feeling that I would hit the jackpot one day,” the player said. “I was so excited when I saw the email from the Michigan Lottery notifying me of my $1.72 million jackpot win! I called my son and daughter-in-law to tell them the news, but it was hard to get the words out because I was so stunned. The power of positive thinking paid off for this lucky player who won the $1.7 million Lotto 47 jackpot,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “It’s fun to dream about life-changing jackpots and how they could impact your life, but it’s important to play responsibly. Our online games offer several tools that help promote safe, responsible gaming.”

The Macomb County woman chose to receive her award as a one-time lump sum of approximately $1.2 million. She plans to buy a house and help her family with the earnings.
