An Oakland County woman is planning to quit her job and take a vacation after winning $2 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Ace of Spades instant game!

The lucky 47-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at Perry’s Palace, located at 411 North Perry Street in Pontiac.

“I buy lottery tickets regularly always hoping to win big,” said the player. “When I scratched off my Ace of Spades ticket and saw I won $2 million, I was thrilled and couldn’t believe it was real! I called my mom right away to tell her the big news.”

“So many Lottery players dream of winning big, and that dream is now a reality for this lucky player thanks to a $2 million win playing the Ace of Spades instant game,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “Congratulations to the lucky player on her big win!”

The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.3 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to quit her job, take a vacation, and then save the remainder.

“Winning is a huge relief and is going to allow me to quit my job and relax,” said the player.

Players have won more than $39 million playing Ace of Spades which launched in April. Each $20 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $20 up to $2 million. More than $68 million in prizes remain, including two $2 million top prizes and 932 $2,000 prizes.

In 2023, Lottery players won nearly $1.8 billion playing instant games.

Lottery instant games may be purchased at retailers across the state.
