$5,000 Welcome Bonus
GENESEE COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) - The second time was the charm for a Genesee County woman who won the $100,000 jackpot in a Michigan Lottery second chance game.
The lucky 54-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, won a 500X Money Maker second chance drawing on May 28. She entered the drawing by scanning a nonwinning ticket on the Michigan Lottery app.
"I was speechless when I saw an email from the Michigan Lottery saying I’d won $100,000," the lucky winner said. "I had to call the lottery to make sure it was real because I didn’t believe it."
She said her big win became more real when she visited a Michigan Lottery office to claim her prize. She plans to invest all of her winnings.
The Michigan Lottery is planning one more 500X Money Maker second chance drawing. Players have until Friday to scan their nonwinning tickets from the game into the lottery app to get entered for the chance to win up to $100,000.
