A Bay City woman is looking forward to becoming a homeowner after winning a $1 million Mega Millions prize from the Michigan Lottery.
Anna Marquez, 31, matched the five white balls in the March 5 drawing to win the big prize: 02-49-50-61-70. She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.

“I play Mega Millions here and there, usually when the jackpot starts getting large,” said Marquez. “I logged in the day after the drawing and was shocked when I saw a big amount pending in my account! Honestly, I thought it was scam at first because you just don’t think this type of thing will happen to you. I checked my email and saw one from the Lottery with information on claiming a prize, so that’s when I knew it was real!”
Marquez visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to buy a house, pay bills, and then save the remainder.
