LANSING, Mich., Aug. 21, 2024 – Taking a chance on the World Class Millions instant game led to a huge payday for a Jackson County woman when she won the game’s $4 million top prize!

The lucky 48-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at Royal Liquor Food Market, located at 320 West Prospect Street in Jackson.

“I randomly buy scratch-off tickets every few months,” said the player. “Usually, I buy $1 or $2 tickets, but when I was at the store, I decided to take a chance on the World Class Millions game. I scratched it when I got home, and when I saw I won $4 million, I showed my mom and said: ‘Am I reading this right?!’

“Before my dad passed, he would always buy me scratch-off tickets, so I can’t help but think this is a gift from him!”

The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $2.7 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to donate and then save the remainder.

“I plan to continue working, and when the time comes, I am going to use my winnings as a financial cushion for retirement,” the player said.
