Michigan woman scans $30 ticket, discovers $2M win, plans to buy homes in two states

An Ingham County woman went from celebrating what she thought was a modest lottery win to discovering she had won a life-changing $2 million (£1.54 million) jackpot after scanning her ticket. The 61-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning $30 scratch-off ticket for the Michigan Lottery's $2,000,000 Cashword instant game at the Holt Express convenience store at 2196 West Delhi Avenue in Holt. This was confirmed in an official release published on the Michigan Lottery Connect platform.

When she first checked her ticket, she thought she had won a good amount of money. However, the actual prize was much larger than she had expected.Misread ticket reveals million-dollar prize"I scratched off my ticket and thought I won $5,000," the player told Michigan Lottery officials when she claimed her prize.
