An Alpena County woman wins $6 million recently in scratch off lottery
An Alpena County woman won a $6 million jackpot from a Michigan Lottery scratch-off ticket that she bought with a $30 prize from a different game.
A woman from Alpena County is $6 million richer after winning the top prize of Michigan Lottery’s $6,000,000 Jackpot instant game.
The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at Perch’s IGA Foodstore in Alpena with winnings from another lottery ticket.
“I was cashing in a $30 winning ticket at the store and decided to use my winnings towards a $6,000,000 Jackpot ticket,” the player said.
“I scratched the barcode right away and scanned it on the Lottery machine. I got a message to file a claim at the Lottery office, so I scratched the ticket to see what I’d won.
When I saw I had won the $6 million prize, my eyes got big, and I stood there in shock."
