Saginaw Woman’s $855K Lottery Win Sparks Unforgettable Reaction

A 63-year-old woman from Saginaw County, Michigan, thought she was having a heart attack after discovering she had won a whopping $855,779 playing the Lucky 7s Fast Cash jackpot.

The lucky ticket was purchased on December 30 at The Big Ugly Fish, a store located at 1418 State Street in Saginaw. The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, recalled the moment she realized her life had changed forever.

“I checked the ticket right after buying it and honestly thought I was having a heart attack when I saw I’d hit the jackpot,” she shared in a statement. “I even had my family double-check the ticket and then scanned it again just to be sure. It was such an unbelievable moment.”

The woman has already claimed her prize. She plans to use part of her windfall to take a few vacations before setting aside the rest for retirement.

Fast Cash tickets, popular among Michigan Lottery players, range in price from $2 to $30. All tickets contribute to a growing jackpot, which increases with every ticket sold.
