(CBS-DETROIT) – A 47-year-old Oakland County woman says she plans to quit her job and go on vacation after winning $2 million on the Michigan Lottery’s Ace of Spades instant game.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her ticket at Perry’s Palace, located at 411 North Perry Street in Pontiac.
“I regularly buy lottery tickets, always hoping to win big,” the woman said in a statement. “When I scratched my Ace of Spades ticket and saw that I had won $2 million, I was thrilled and couldn’t believe it was real! I immediately called my mom to tell her the big news.”
The woman chose to receive her prize as a one-time payment of approximately $1.3 million. She plans to quit her job, go on vacation and save the rest of her winnings.
“Winning is a huge relief and gives me the opportunity to quit my job and relax,” the player said.
The Michigan Lottery says players have won more than $39 million playing Ace of Spades since the game launched in April. Prizes range from $20 to $2 million, with more than $68 million in prizes still up for grabs, including two $2 million top prizes.
