OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — An Ottawa County woman is still reeling after playing a new lottery instant game and taking home the grand prize of $300,000.
The 26-year-old player bought her winning ticket at the Speedway on Baldwin Street in Jenison. She said she bought two Safe Cracker Cashword tickets when her usual games were out of stock.
“I scratched one of the tickets before going to bed and saved the other one for the morning,” she said. “I scratched the ticket as soon as I woke up and counted the words over and over again when I realized I had 10. I was shocked and excited but tried to stay calm when I realized I’d just won $300,000! It still doesn’t feel real.”
The player recently visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to pay off her car, invest and save the remainder.
Safe Cracker Cashword launched in December. Each ticket costs $5 and gives players a chance to win prizes from $5 to $300,000.
