A Gladwin County woman’s routine stop after work to buy a Lottery ticket led her to win $1 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Black & Gold instant game.

The lucky 57-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at Border’s Corner Store, located at 7024 East Pickard Road in Mount Pleasant.

“I like playing the instant games and I always stop to buy one on my way home from work,” said the player.

“I stopped at the store after work, as usual, one night and decided to try the Black & Gold game.

I started scratching the ticket when I got home and when I saw I had won $1 million, I was in shock!

“I usually scratch my tickets as soon as I get in my car, so I’m glad I waited until I got home this time because I don’t think I would have been able to drive since I was so shaky and excited!”
