The 55-year-old player, who close to remain anonymous, purchased her winning ticket at the Wesco gas station, located at 4667 1st Street in New Era. New Era is about 30 miles north of Muskegon.
“I usually play a few of the different Fast Cash games and decided on Jackpot Slots while I was at the gas station one day,’” said the player. “I looked the ticket over when I got in my car and couldn’t believe it when I saw I’d won the jackpot. I still can’t believe this is happening!”
The player visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to save her winnings.
“I don’t have any special plans for the money as of now besides living worry free,” the player said.
Fast Cash games are a series of instant-win games that print from terminals at Lottery retailers. Fast Cash tickets range in price from $2 per play up to $20 per play.
