A lucky Wayne County woman scoops it big in scratch off lottery game

A woman from Wayne County was shocked when she won $500,000 from a scratch off lottery ticket because she had initially thought it was a non-winning ticket.

The lucky 50-year-old player, who remained anonymous, purchased the ticket from the CVS pharmacy at 15240 Southfield Road in Allen Park.

"I was visiting my mom and decided to stop and purchase a few tickets on my way home," said the player. "I scratched the tickets later that night, and I didn't think I won anything, but I scanned them on the Lottery app to be sure.

When I scanned the Blazing Hot 7's ticket and confetti came up on the screen with a winning amount of $500,000, I was confused.

She continued and said, "I looked the ticket over again, which is when I realized I had overlooked '04' in the 'Your Numbers' section.

I started hyperventilating and called my mom and sister to tell them the news.
