Lucky Oxford woman wins $500,000 right when she needed it
An Oxford woman couldn’t control her emotions after she won a $500,000 prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s Ruby Red Wild Time instant game.
“Me and my husband love playing the Wild Time games,” said Brandi Chislett-Barnes, 35. “We stopped at the gas station and purchased two Wild Time tickets and scratched them when we got in the car.
When I saw I won $500,000, I started screaming and crying. I showed my family the winning prize amount and they all started cheering.
Winning this money means everything to our family and came at the perfect time.” Chislett-Barnes bought her winning ticket at the BP gas station, located at 721 South Lapeer Road in Oxford.
After visiting Lottery headquarters to claim her prize, Chislett-Barnes said she plans on buying a home with the money and saving the remainder.
