An Oakland County lottery player is still reeling from shock after winning $150,000 playing the Michigan Lottery's Magic Money Ride digital instant game.

The 41-year-old woman, who chose to remain anonymous, told the Michigan Lottery that she likes to play online games.

When the prize amount of $150,000 came up on the screen, I thought it was a joke and kept yelling: “No way!” I called my husband to tell him what I'd won, and he didn't believe it either.

She added that it didn't actually begin to sink in until she got the email explaining how to claim her prize. “I don't think it is going to fully hit me until I have the money in the bank.”

The lucky winner recently visited the Michigan Lottery Headquarters to claim her jackpot prize. She plans to take a vacation, pay her bills, and save the rest of her winnings.
