With odds of buying a jackpot-winning ticket set much higher than the odds of dying from being struck by lightning – it is not shocking to see lotto hopefuls like this 71-year-old woman from Ogemaw County, who turned and thanked God after winning $100,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Instant Football Payout game online.
“I have been playing Instant Football Payout for a while, and had only won a total of about $500,” said the 71-year-old player, who choose to remain anonymous.
“I wanted to see if I could win a little more, so I decided to buy a few more tickets and that’s when I hit the $100,000 prize!”
“I kept saying: ‘Thank God!’ because I think, divine intervention played a significant role in me winning.”
The lucky player visited Lottery headquarters in Lansing on Tuesday to file a claim for her $100,000 big prize win. With her winnings, she plans to pay some bills.
“It’s unbelievable to win. I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d be here picking up a huge prize like this,”
