Oakland County Woman Wins $2M From Scratch-Off Ticket

The lucky 64-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning Strike It Rich ticket at Meaad Enterprises LLC, located at 1950 E 12 Mile Road in Warren, according to lottery officials.

"I was in line to check out at the gas station, and the person in front of me bought several Strike It Rich tickets, so I decided to go for it and buy one too," the woman told lottery officials. "I scratched the ticket off when I got in my car, and immediately locked the doors and signed the ticket when I saw I'd won $2 million. It still hasn't fully sunk in that I won!"

The woman chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $1.3 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount, according to lottery officials.

With her winnings, she plans to pay off her car, complete some home improvements and give to charities, according to lottery officials.
