A Greenville woman couldn’t call the Michigan Lottery fast enough after winning $1,000 a week for life playing the $1,000 A Week For Life instant game.

“I called the Lottery as soon as I finished scratching my ticket,” said Tori Brayton. “I didn’t think what I was seeing was real and needed someone to confirm it.”

The Lottery confirmed the good news: Brayton had won $1,000 a week for life. She bought her winning ticket at the Wesco gas station, located at 128 West Washington Street in Greenville.

“As soon as the Lottery told me I was a big winner I started crying and called my mom,” said Brayton. “Of course she wouldn’t believe I had won so it took a bit of convincing.”

The 23-year-old Brayton visited Lottery headquarters today to claim her prize. She chose to receive her winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of more than $1.1 million rather than an annuity.
