COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – An Oakland County woman won $1 million with a lottery ticket she bought at a Meijer gas station.
The 40-year-old woman bought a Hamilton instant game ticket at the Meijer gas station at 1703 Haggerty Highway in Commerce Township.
“My husband and I play instant tickets all the time,” she said. “When we scratched off our Hamilton ticket and saw we won $1 million, we were ecstatic. We always had a feeling the day would come where we won big, and it’s a blessing that it really happened.”
The woman visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her winnings and chose to remain anonymous.
She picked a $693,000 lump sum over annual payments. She said she plans to buy a new car and save the rest of the money.
