Oakland County woman wins $1 million on instant lottery ticket

An Oakland County woman had a feeling the day would come when she would win a big lottery prize — and it finally did.

The woman, 40, recently won $1 million on a Hamilton instant ticket, according to the Michigan Lottery .

"My husband and I play instant tickets all the time," she told the Michigan Lottery. "When we scratched off our Hamilton ticket and saw we won $1 million, we were ecstatic! We always had a feeling the day would come where we won big, and it’s a blessing that it really happened!"

The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased the $10 ticket at the Meijer gas station located at 1703 Haggerty in Commerce Township.

She recently claimed her prize and opted to receive a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000 instead of annuity payments for the full amount.

She plans to use the money to buy a new vehicle and save the rest.
