The Tuscola County woman whose decided to remain anonymous bought the winning ticket at Bryan’s Market in North Branch.

The anonymous woman made the trip to Michigan Lottery Headquarters in Lansing to claim her prize.

She shared with the Michigan Lottery how she found out she won big.

My husband and I have been playing Lotto 47 every week for years, The day after the drawing, we got a text from a family member that said a Lotto 47 jackpot winning ticket was sold at Bryan’s Market and asked if we were the big winners. Bryan’s Market is where we happened to buy our tickets that week, but we thought the odds that we were actually the big winners were slim. I grabbed several Lotto 47 tickets out of my wallet and started scanning them on the Michigan Lottery app. When I was about halfway through the pile, the screen lit up and $3.98 million came up on the scanner. I was in complete shock. It’s the kind of feeling that makes you want to break down and cry!

 

The woman chose to receive her winnings as a one-time lump sum payment of $2.7 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount.

She plans on using the money to pay bills and live the rest of her life comfortably.
