Detroit woman wins $613k jackpot with Lucky 7s ticket
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
DETROIT (WWJ) -- A spontaneous gift from a friend paid off bigtime for one young Detroiter.
The Michigan Lottery says a 19-year-old Detroit woman received the gift of a lifetime when she won a $613,848 Lucky 7s Fast Cash jackpot on a ticket she received as an early Christmas present.
The player’s friend bought the winning ticket at the Mobil gas station on Van Dyke in Detroit.
“I was out with a friend, and he purchased a Lucky 7s Fast Cash ticket while we were at the gas station,” said the player. “He handed the ticket to me and said he bought it for me because he wanted to get me a little something as an early Christmas gift.”
“We looked the ticket over together and when we saw I’d won the jackpot, we started screaming and jumping up and down! We looked the ticket over several times because we couldn’t believe it was real. I called my family right away to tell them the good news.”
The player, who chose to remain anonymous, recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to save her winnings.
Lucky 7s is a Fast Cash game — one in a series of instant-win games that print from terminals at Lottery retailers, with tickets ranging in price from $2 per play up to $20 per play.
Each $10 Lucky 7s ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $10 up to $4,000 and 100% of the Fast Cash progressive jackpot
All of the Fast Cash games feed into one jackpot, which grows with every ticket purchased. The current jackpot amount prints on each ticket, so players always know the amount of the jackpot up for grabs. The jackpot may be won at any time. As soon as the jackpot is hit, a new one starts to grow.
Fast Cash games may be purchased at 10,500 retailers across the state. Find a full list of available Fast Cash games, here.
