A 71-year-old woman from Ingham County, Michigan, has become one of just two people ever to win £77,000 ($100,000) a year for life on the state's new 'Millionaire For Life' game. She initially mistook the life-changing prize for a mere £1,540 ($2,000) during a routine check of her online lottery account.
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, was logging into her Michigan Lottery account on the morning of 21 August to complete a 'Daily Spin to Win' promotion when a pop-up alerted her to a major win from the previous night's draw. It was only on a second look that she realised the true value of the prize, describing the discovery as 'unbelievable'.
