Barry County Woman, 80, Stuns with $100K Win from Non-Winning Lottery Ticket

An 80-year-old woman from Barry County’s perseverance proved to be great luck after she won one hundred thousand dollars in the Michigan Lottery’s second chance drawing, though she had a losing ticket at the beginning.

The lady, who declined to disclose her identity, became a part of the second-chance draw for $300,000,000 Extraordinaire in Michigan Lottery after using the official Michigan Lottery mobile app to scan her non-winning lottery tickets. Her entry was only one of many, and she was the chosen one in the draw done on May 6th.

She mentioned that at first, she couldn’t believe the news when it arrived. “I was really sure it was a hoax call after the phone call, said the winner. But after some time, I got the official e-mail from the Lottery, saying it was a confirmation. That’s when it became real to me”. As she said, the win was a complete surprise to her, which would financially secure her. She has officially received her prize and is about to put the money into her savings.

It is a great testimony to all of us that the lottery tickets that we consider to be the losers can still be the grand winners and the Michigan Lottery is currently giving players another opportunity to win up to $50,000 by using the mobile app to scan non-winning $6,000,000 Wealth tickets.

For those who are out of luck in case they are not one of the winners, after a scratch card that is you might consider trying your luck again.
