LANSING, March 26, 2008 – Sandra Mitchell is a very lucky $40,000,000 Spectacular player! She scratched her way to a second-tier $10,000 prize!

The longtime Lottery player hid the winning ticket in her jacket prior to cashing it at the Lottery’s Sterling Heights office. She told Lottery officials that she was very surprised with her win. She plans to use the prize money to “fix-up” her house.
