A Macomb County woman went to pick up pizza and returned home a millionaire after winning $2 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s $2,000 Large instant game.
The 41-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at Party Palace Liquor, located at 49133 Schoenherr Road in Shelby Township.

“My husband is usually the one who buys scratch off tickets, but I decided to stop and buy one on my way to pick up pizza,” the player said. “While I was waiting for my pizza, I sat in my car and scratched the ticket. It was surreal when I realized I’d won $2 million. I called my husband to tell him the big news because I was so excited. I couldn’t wait until I got home!”
The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.3 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to pay bills and take a vacation.
