GENESEE CO., Mich. (WNEM/Gray News) – A woman won $500,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s 50x Wild Time.
The 59-year-old woman who chose to remain anonymous said she had been told during a Tarot card reading that money would soon come into her life.
“I have always told the people in my life that I was going to win the lottery one day,” she said. “Once a week I purchase a few instant games and I usually always buy them from the same store. The day I won, I was on my way to a Tarot reading, so I stopped at a different store, purchased some tickets and put them in my purse.”
The woman said she was thinking of all the ways the predicted money would come into her life, not thinking about the lottery tickets in her purse.
“Later that night, I scratched the tickets. I saw the star symbol and thought, ‘Well at least I won my money back’ assuming it would be a $10 win. Much to my surprise, I revealed a prize of $500,000,” she said. “I tried to remain calm, but I knew right then and there this had just changed my life!”
The woman plans to pay off her car, take a cruise with a friend and invest the remainder of her winnings.
