What a Tuscola County woman thought was a non-winning ticket, ended up being a $865,124 winning 5 Win Lucky Clover Fast Cash ticket.
“I buy a Fast Cash ticket almost every day, and I bought this one while I was out to eat one night,” said the lucky 65-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. “I didn’t think I won anything, but I asked the bartender to scan the ticket for me. She said it came back with a message to file a claim, so I would have to call the Lottery office Monday morning to figure out what’s going on.
“The next morning, I got a call from the bartender telling me they sold a jackpot winning Fast Cash ticket the night before, so to look my ticket over again because that may be why the message to file a claim came up. My first thought was that she was lying to me because I thought it was impossible that I may have won. When I looked my ticket over again and saw I really was the big winner, I couldn’t help but cry!”
The player bought her winning ticket at Millington Inn, located at 8487 State Road in Millington. Millington is about 25 miles southeast of Saginaw. She recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. With her winnings, she plans to complete some home improvements and invest.
“Even though I’m at the Lottery office claiming my prize, I keep waiting for someone to tell me this isn’t real because I still can’t wrap my head around it,” said the player.
