LANSING, September 26, 2007 – Jeanine Godush took a double glance of her Mega Millions ticket after learning it was a $10,000 winner!  The Stevensville resident matched four white balls and the gold Mega ball in the Sept. 18 drawing to win the prize.

The lucky homemaker did not hide the easy pick ticket prior to cashing it in at the Lottery’s Wyoming office.  She has no immediate plans for her prize money.

The winning easy pick ticket was purchased at Martin’s Super Market, 2121 Cleveland Ave., in St. Joseph.
