Oceana County woman wins $1.18M: ‘I still can’t believe this is happening!’
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
LANSING, MI -- An Oceana County woman is thrilled to have won a $1.18 million Jackpot Slots Fast Cash jackpot, even if she doesn’t have any specific ideas for the money just yet.
“I don’t have any special plans for the money as of now besides living worry free,” said the 55-year-old winner who chose to remain anonymous.
The lucky winner bought her ticket at the Wesco gas station, located at 4667 1st Street in New Era, about 30 miles north of Muskegon.
“I usually play a few of the different Fast Cash games and decided on Jackpot Slots while I was at the gas station one day,’” said the winner. “I looked the ticket over when I got in my car and couldn’t believe it when I saw I’d won the jackpot. I still can’t believe this is happening!”
The winner visited Lottery headquarters in Lansing recently to claim her prize.

The last players from Michigan to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot is the Wolverine FLL lottery club which claimed a $1.05 billion jackpot in March 2021. With their winnings, the group plans to give back to the community.
And while they were lucky winners, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a winner worth $1 million sold in Warren last year went unclaimed. The money instead went to the state’s School Aid Fund.
