Could you please rephrase that statement?

Many individuals fantasize about achieving greatness through winning the lottery, often envisioning extravagant purchases. However, a woman from Marquette County, Michigan, took a different approach. Despite winning the grand prize in the $2,000,000 Lucky 7s Michigan Lottery game, it appears that she remains unfazed.

Despite receiving a seven-figure windfall, her extravagance only extended to purchasing a single new television set. This serves as a noteworthy example for upcoming winners, as there will likely be numerous others in Michigan this year.

The recent Lucky 7s Michigan Lottery top prize win

In a press release by the Michigan Lottery, it was revealed that the winning ticket was purchased by a 70-year-old woman at Jim’s Super Foods on 2nd St in Ishpeming. The unexpected stroke of luck came as a delightful surprise to her, as it would to most individuals.

“I’m a regular player of the $2,000,000 Lucky 7’s game,” the woman shared. “The moment I scratched my ticket and discovered I had won $2 million, I was so overwhelmed that I nearly passed out. Without wasting any time, I immediately dialed my niece to share the incredible news. Unfortunately, she found it hard to believe, so I embarked on a journey to her place, tightly holding my purse with the precious ticket throughout the entire drive.”

“I’m still struggling to grasp the idea of winning such a large sum of money. It hasn’t sunk in yet, it feels unreal.”

When she went to a MI Lottery claim center, she chose to receive $1.2 million after taxes as a lump sum. She also discussed her intentions with the lottery officials, which included purchasing a new TV and saving the remaining amount. While this might appear to be a cautious strategy considering the magnitude of her winnings, it holds significant value.

Assuming a prudent investment, the remaining $1.2 million, deducting the television cost, can potentially generate sufficient income to sustain her for the entirety of her life. This is particularly feasible if she continues to maintain a frugal lifestyle with regards to expenses.

With hope, she managed to purchase a top-notch television. It is also hopeful that other winners of MI Lottery prizes will emulate her actions. This year has seen a notable increase in winners receiving prizes of similar magnitude.

2021 continues to change Michiganders’ lives

Up until now in the current year, numerous players of MI Lottery have emerged as winners of prizes exceeding seven figures, and even larger. Surprisingly, the total count of such winners is already getting close to the figure recorded in 2020, with almost half of the year remaining.

Winners of such prizes are advised to promptly secure their winning ticket(s) and then reach out to financial and legal professionals for guidance. It is recommended to establish contact with these individuals prior to claiming the prizes.

By refraining from publicly flaunting lottery winnings, not only can the value of the win be safeguarded, but also the identities of the winners. This serves as an additional advantage, as scammers are less likely to target winners who only indulge in modest purchases like a new television.
