Winning a significant lottery prize can have a profound impact on one’s life, making it challenging to remain humble despite experiencing such a stroke of luck.
However, a woman from Grand Rapids has decided to give back after winning a $1 million Mega Millions prize in the previous month.
From groceries to other greens
In a news release on Monday, the Michigan Lottery announced that Sumayyah Waver, aged 39, has won a $1 million prize by matching the five white balls drawn on June 1, which were 07-11-33-58-63. Her winning ticket was purchased at the Meijer store situated at 1997 East Beltline Avenue Northeast in Grand Rapids.
Waver expressed in the statement that they enjoy playing different Lottery games, and therefore, they bought a couple of tickets while grocery shopping. After approximately a week, they decided to check the tickets and were completely astonished to discover that they had won a staggering $1 million.
According to a news release, Waver made a trip to state lottery headquarters in order to collect her winnings. As per her plan, she intends to use the prize money to first settle her student debt and then spread her good luck to others.
She expressed her gratitude for the people in her life and the work she does, acknowledging that it grants her a sense of freedom and enhances her enjoyment of life.
Will we see more jackpot-like prizes with more drawings?
Following the decision of multiple multi-state lottery games to enhance the frequency of their drawings, it has been announced that Powerball will introduce a Monday drawing in addition to its existing Wednesday and Saturday schedule, starting next month.
Starting from July 19, Lucky for Life now conducts daily drawings, offering an incredible opportunity for winners to receive $1,000 every day for the duration of their lives. This substantial amount will be distributed in yearly installments of $365,000. Alternatively, winners have the option to receive a lump sum payment of $5.75 million.
For now, Mega Millions drawings are still set to occur twice a week on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Each play costs $2, and players have the option to add a $1 “Megaplier” to increase non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.
The chances of hitting five numbers without a Megaplier for a $1 million win always remain constant (1 in over 12.6 million), regardless of the number of drawings. Similarly, your odds of winning any Powerball prize in each drawing (1 in 24.9) remain the same, regardless of the jackpot amount.
Until 10:45 p.m. on the day of each drawing, Mega Millions tickets can be purchased either online at MichiganLottery.com or from retailers across the state.
