Timing can be just as crucial as luck when it comes to winning at gambling. A resident of Saginaw County in Michigan can attest to this, as she narrowly avoided missing out on a Frenzy Multiplier lottery game win by just a few minutes.

Thanks to her timely arrival, she is now relishing a prize of one million dollars (pre-tax). Furthermore, she has become the most recent recipient of the coveted title of MI Lottery millionaire, joining the ranks of many fellow Michiganders who have achieved this feat rapidly throughout the year.

Frenzy Multiplier lottery game win secured in nick of time

In a recent lottery press release, it was revealed that the sale of the winning card came close to not happening. However, the 52-year-old victor, who prefers to remain anonymous, narrates the incident with the most authenticity.

As the player recounted, “While heading home for a bonfire, my friend and I realized we needed to make a few stops. Our first stop was at the Marion Springs General Store, but to our dismay, we found the door locked, indicating that they had just closed. Just as we stood there, perplexed, a helpful clerk approached and unlocked the door for us.”

After gathering essentials for the evening, we also acquired a few Lottery tickets. Upon arriving home, I ignited the fire and completely overlooked the tickets for a couple of days. When I eventually scratched them off, I was astounded to discover that I had won a staggering $1 million!

Located on Merrill Road in Brant, the Marion Springs General Store is set to receive a bonus for selling the winning ticket. Recently, the fortunate winner collected her prize, choosing the lump sum of $634,000 after taxes. Although she didn’t disclose her specific plans to the lottery officials, she did mention her intention to make her life a “little easier” with the newfound wealth.

In Michigan, there are several Michiganders whose lives have likely become easier this year, and it’s not just her. The year 2021 has proven to be a remarkable one for lottery winners in MI, significantly improving people’s lifestyles.

2021 is on-pace to be Michigan Lottery year unlike any other

According to the MI Lottery, a total of 48 individuals were awarded prizes of $1 million or more last year while playing their games or multi-state games. As of now, 32 plays valued at seven figures or higher have been sold through the MI Lottery’s online sales platforms and retailers this year.

It is currently mid-June, and there is a strong possibility that the total sales of 2021 may exceed last year’s numbers significantly. While it is uncertain if increased sales are contributing to this upward trend (we will have to wait for the lottery’s 2021 annual report to confirm), it is clear that the improved odds are not the cause. In reality, as more winners claim prizes in scratch-off games like $1,000,000 Frenzy Multiplier, the availability of such prizes naturally decreases.

In the mentioned game, there are only two remaining top prizes waiting to be won. Considering the rapid pace at which players are winning, those prizes might be claimed soon. This story of a woman from Saginaw County serves as a reminder that time is crucial.
