DETROIT (FOX 2) - A Detroit woman is relieved after winning a $482,417 Michigan Lottery prize.
"Winning is an awesome feeling. It’s a huge relief and couldn’t have happened at a better time," she said.
The 45-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, won the prize in the March 12 Fantasy 5 drawing, with the numbers 02-10-11-17-21. She bought the ticket online.
"I have been playing the same set of numbers, which is made up of special dates, for a long time," she said. "When I logged in to my account and saw I’d won the jackpot, I called my mom in a panic. She thought something was wrong until I told her I’d won the Lottery. We were both in shock and couldn’t believe it!"
She said she will use the money to pay bills then save the rest.
