Michigan Woman Wins Big After Buying Lottery Ticket At Grocery Store

The 79 year old woman was shopping at Kroger in Shelby Township and ended up buying five of the Smokin’ Hot Million tickets and played them later in the day at home.

She shared with the Michigan Lottery what happened saying:

When I scratched off the $1 million prize, I sat there and stared at the ticket for a while and then told my husband that I just won big. When he asked how big, I told him: ‘I think I just won $1 million.’ He didn’t believe me until he looked the ticket over himself. After that, we surprised our kids by inviting them over and showing them the ticket. Winning is exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between!”

The family definitely believes her now after she went and turned in her winning ticket.
