HOLLAND, Mich. – A 25-year-old Michigan woman received a lottery ticket as a gift and ended up winning $300,000.
The winning Emerald Green Wild Time ticket was bought at Lincolnshire P/S & Deli on Lincoln Avenue in Holland, Michigan.
A 25-year-old Ottawa County woman received the ticket as a gift and was shocked to discover it was worth $300,000.
“My uncle bought the ticket for me as a gift, and we sat down and scratched it together,” she said. “When I revealed a $300,0000 prize, my first thought was, ‘Is this fake?’ I was immediately overwhelmed because I’ve never had this amount of money before. I am still in shock and trying to take it all in.”
She visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her prize and chose to remain anonymous.
She said she plans to invest her winnings.
