LANSING, September 25, 2002 –Peggy Greselin of Marcellus recently experienced instant wealth upon scratching off a Michigan Lottery "Big Money Action" instant ticket to reveal a $10,000 prize!

The winning ticket was purchased at Marcellus Shell #1600, 198 E. Main St., in Marcellus.

"I scratched off the ticket shortly after buying it while sitting in my car," said the lucky winner. "I was completely shocked to see that I had won $10,000!"

Greselin, who has enjoyed playing Michigan Lottery instant games in her free time for the past 29 years, said she kept the winning ticket with her at all times to ensure its safety before turning it at the Lottery’s regional office in Wyoming.
