LANSING, August 22, 2007 – A longtime Lottery player won big when her Lucky Stars ticket turned out to be worth $10,000!

June Perry of Sterling Heights cashed her big winner at the Lottery office in Sterling Heights.  She was “overwhelmed” with the win.

Perry kept the ticket with her until cashing it in, she has no immediate plans for her prize money.

The winning ticket was purchased at D Bros Party Store, 7358 Triangle, in Sterling Heights.
