(AsiaGameHub) –   A Michigan woman walked away with a $1,000,000 prize from the Lucky Stars Instant Win game earlier this month, ringing in Cinco de Mayo in thrilling fashion.

The state lottery shared details of the win in an official statement, and interviewed the Genesee County winner to share details about how she claimed her prize.

Recalling the experience, the winner shared that she plays the lottery regularly, but had never planned to stop and buy the winning ticket that day. 

“I went out with a friend to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and when she suggested we stop to buy lottery tickets, we did just that,” she told the Michigan Lottery.

The woman grabbed a handful of tickets first, spending $30, which she immediately put toward buying more lottery tickets at Liquor Wheel at 4117 Clio Road in Flint.

She scratched off the coating right inside the store, and once she realized she’d actually won, she rushed out of the shop with tears streaming down her face — she had claimed the seven-figure grand prize. 

Once the initial excitement faded, she naturally chose the most popular option — the one-time lump sum payment, which will let her quickly take care of a few pressing financial loose ends. 

The winner has walked away with $693,000 from the lottery and visited the lottery’s headquarters to claim her prize. No official photo opportunity was shared by the lottery, however.

The Lucky Stars instant game, which launched just recently, has been performing well, giving players a fresh instant lottery game to enjoy.
