Delta Co. woman wins $1M

GLADSTONE — A Delta County woman plans to help others after winning $1 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Lucky X50 instant game.

The Michigan Lottery announced that 65-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at North Bluff Grocery, located at 6287 M-35 in Gladstone.

“When I stopped at the store to buy a Lottery ticket, the clerk told me they had just sold out of the game I typically play, so I decided to buy a Lucky X50 ticket instead,” the player was quoted as saying. “I scratched the ticket later that day and when I saw that I’d won $1 million, I started crying.”

The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim her prize.

She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $693,000 rather than 30 annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to help others.

“Winning is a fantastic feeling and will allow me to help a lot of people,” the player said.
