Nowadays, electronic notifications have become quite common. However, for an Oakland County woman, one particular alert was far from ordinary. It notified her of her online Powerball win in Michigan, amounting to a staggering $1 million earlier this year.
The recent win added her name to the expanding roster of lucky winners from Michigan who have struck it big while playing Michigan online lottery games this year. With the current trend, it’s only a matter of time before the list continues to expand.
The million-dollar online Powerball win
After purchasing a ticket through the MI Lottery’s website before the March 17 Powerball drawing, Colleen Wymer from Clinton Township logged out of the site. However, she remained mindful of her participation and proceeded to describe the subsequent events.
In a news release by the Michigan Lottery, the 62-year-old winner expressed his frequent participation in the Powerball and Mega Millions games, occasionally winning a small amount of money. However, upon checking his lottery account a few days after the drawing and receiving a prize notification, he hoped for a larger sum, thinking to himself, “I really hope this time it’s more than just a few dollars.”
The moment I laid my eyes on the $1 million prize, disbelief washed over me. I’m still grappling with the reality of it all, unable to fathom what I will do with my newfound fortune. It feels surreal, as if it hasn’t truly sunk in yet.
Wymer made a recent trip to the MI lottery’s headquarters in order to collect her prize. The lottery announcement did not specify whether she chose to receive the prize as an annuity or a lump sum. Nevertheless, her $2 investment yielded a substantial return.
This year, she is not the only one in the state experiencing a significant increase in lottery winnings. The number of individuals in Michigan who have won seven figures or more in lottery prizes in 2021 is so high that a room filled with them would be quite crowded.
More Michigan winners every day, it seems
In March, Wymer achieved victory and since then, the MI lottery has celebrated a total of 25 winners of prizes worth at least $1 million in 2021. This marks a significant milestone as the number of winners surpasses 20.
In a somewhat surprising twist, Wymer has defied the norm of million-dollar prize winners. Out of the total of 25 prizes, hers is only one of four that were won through online ticket purchases. The remaining 21 prizes were obtained through retail sales.
It is worth noting that all of those million-plus online wins were achieved by playing Lucky for Life, and each win amounted to $5.75 million. Among these wins, one occurred on March 10, while the remaining two took place on February 10. Although this year has witnessed numerous six-figure wins from online plays.
Whether you choose to play in-person or online, the MI lottery has the potential to make you the next millionaire. However, if you opt for online play, there’s a chance that you could receive a notification that you definitely wouldn’t want to overlook.
