McCormick's gas station on White Lake Drive in Whitehall was the sight of a big win recently, as a 64-year-old woman bought a lottery ticket that ended up being worth $500,000. The Michigan Lottery announced the win on its website Oct. 11.
The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, told the Michigan Lottery's website that she will pay off some debts with the money and save the rest. She claimed
“It hadn’t played the Lottery in a while, but I had a random urge to purchase an instant ticket one day,” the woman told the website. “I scratched the ticket when I got home and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I revealed a $500,000 prize! I told my husband the good news by showing him my winning ticket.
“Winning this prize will allow me to become debt-free, and that is going to be a great feeling!”
