A MICHIGAN woman won a $1.6million lottery jackpot after listening to her mom's advice — here's how her mom helped win her fortune.
The Wayne County woman, who has not revealed her identity, won a Lucky 7s Fast Cash jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.
In total, the anonymous winner, received a whopping $1,682,998.
The 37-year-old woman purchased her winning ticket on December 18, 2021 —thanks to the help of her mom.
The lucky lotto player told Michigan Lottery Connect: "I was out with my mom and playing Club Keno.
"My mom told me that the Fast Cash jackpot was more than $1.6 million and suggested I give that game a try."
She bought the winning ticket at Flappers Café at 722 Southfield Road in Lincoln Park, Michigan.
The winner told MI Connect: "I bought a couple tickets and won a few bucks and decided to buy one more with my winnings."
She continued: "That was when I won the jackpot. I was so excited; I really wasn’t sure how to react.
