A Michigan woman from Macomb County experienced a life-changing surprise when she discovered an email in her spam folder revealing she had won a $207,199 lottery prize. The 54-year-old, who opted to remain anonymous, was selected in a random drawing on July 9.
She unknowingly earned entries into the giveaway by playing eligible BIG CA$H Second Chance Jackpot games online. In a statement, she expressed her initial confusion upon finding the email: “I didn’t know that by playing certain games online, I was earning entries into a second chance drawing, so I was confused when I came across an email from the Michigan Lottery in my spam folder saying I’d won.”
After verifying the authenticity of the email multiple times, she was thrilled by the unexpected win. “This win is so exciting and couldn’t have come at a better time!” she added. The prize money will be used to pay bills and make investments.
The BIG CA$H Second Chance game, which launched in April 2022, has awarded over $8 million in progressive prizes, including 12 prizes ranging from $200,000 to $570,000 in the past year. The next drawing is scheduled for August 13.
