Farmington Hills Woman Heads To Europe After Winning 390K In Lottery

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI — A Farmington Hills woman planned a trip to Europe after finding out she won $25,000 a year for life playing the Michigan Lottery’s Lucky For Life game, according to Michigan Lottery officials.

Roxandy Kramarich, 72, matched the five white balls drawn June 5 – 11-19-21-39-46 – to win $25,000 a year for life. She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com, state officials said.

"I’ve been having good luck with the Lucky For Life game lately, so I’ve been playing quite a bit," Kramarich said. "I saw an email from the Lottery notifying me of a prize, but it didn’t say how much I’d won. I logged in to my account and was shocked when I saw I’d won $25,000 a year for life! I kept checking my account balance to make sure it was real."

Kramarich chose to receive her winnings as a one-time, lump sum payment of $390,000, rather than annuity payments of $25,000 for 20 years or life, officials said.

In addition to her vacation, Kramarich also plans to complete some home improvement projects.
