An Oakland County woman had a sleepless night after winning a $123,884 BIG CA$H second chance jackpot prize from the Michigan Lottery.

The 65-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, won $123,884 after she was selected in a random drawing that took place Nov. 12. She earned entries into the giveaway by playing the eligible BIG CA$H Second Chance Jackpot games online at MichiganLottery.com.

“When I saw the email from the Lottery that said I’d won a $123,884 BIG CA$H second chance jackpot, I didn’t believe it at first,” said the player. “It was exciting and nerve-racking calling the Lottery office to confirm it was real. I could hardly sleep that night because I was in such disbelief!”

The lucky player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to complete some home improvements and then save the remainder.

“Winning means a lot and is going to bring me some peace of mind,” said the player.
