Indiana woman wins $100,000 playing instant game online

Christine Miles of Indiana thought something was wrong with the Michigan Lottery website when she hit a $100,000 prize while playing the Michigan Lottery's Big Crush Multiplier instant-win game online.

In an interview with the Michigan Lottery, the 54-year-old said, “My husband and I have a cottage in Michigan, so I play Michigan Lottery games online whenever we are there. I was playing Big Crush Multiplier and was up $1,000. My husband told me I should cash out, but I played a few more spins.”

Her tenacity paid off in the end when she hit a big prize.

When the prize amount of $100,000 came up on the screen, I didn't believe it and thought something was wrong with the Lottery site. I logged out of my account and then logged back in thinking the prize would be gone, but my balance still showed $100,000. Shortly after, I got an email from the Lottery about claiming my prize, and that's when I knew it was real!

Christine visited the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to save her winnings for her retirement.

“I now know things like this really do happen to the average person like me, and it is truly unbelievable,” she said.
