OTTAWA COUNTY, MI – A 25-year-old Michigan woman may have a favorite uncle after he gifted her a lottery ticket worth $300,000.
The woman from Ottawa County, who chose to remain anonymous, was gifted the Emerald Green Wild Time ticket purchased at Lincolnshire P/S & Deli located at 1110 Lincoln Avenue in Holland.
“My uncle bought the ticket for me as a gift, and we sat down and scratched it together,” she said. “When I revealed a $300,0000 prize, my first thought was: ‘Is this fake?’ I was immediately overwhelmed because I’ve never had this amount of money before! I am still in shock and trying to take it all in.”
She plans to invest her winnings, according to a news release.
Players have won more than $39 million playing Emerald Green Wild Time, which launched in December 2022. Each $5 ticket offers players a chance to win prizes ranging from $5 up to $300,000.
More than $6 million in prizes remain, including two $25,000 prizes and five $2,500 prizes.
In 2023, lottery players won nearly $1.8 billion playing instant games.
