Late-Night Food Run Leads To Big Lottery Win For MI Woman

WYOMING, MI — A Michigan woman won a $1 million on a scratch-off ticket that she bought during a late-night food run, according to Michigan Lottery officials.

The 53-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, bought the winning Lady Luck 777 ticket at D 28 Inc., which is located at 5 28th Street Southwest in Wyoming, lottery officials said.

"I woke up hungry late one night, so I went out on a food run," she told lottery officials. "While I was out, I bought a few lottery tickets and scratched them when I got home. It was shocking when I scratched off my Lady Luck 777 ticket and saw I’d won $1 million. I had a hard time going back to sleep that night!"

She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000, rather than annuity payments for the full amount, lottery officials said.

She plans to save her winnings, lottery officials said.

"I’m still in shock and it hasn’t fully sunk in that I won $1 million, so I haven’t made any specials plans for the money just yet," she told lottery officials.
