A female who lives in Trenton Michigan used a very unusual method of buying a free coupon that she was for $5 dollars that she won for playing a scratch game in a store earlier. The name of the female who lives in Trenton is 41 years of age used her free coupon to play a $5 dollar Cashword Times 5 on New Year's Day. When she found out that she won $300,000 dollars before taxes. The lottery winner waited some time before cashing in her lottery winnings at the Michigan Lottery which is kind of odd since I am sure that she made a deal with the lottery officials not to reveal her name or identity since she does not persons outside of her family to come begging for her money using hard luck stories. The lottery winner plans to use her winnings on paying her bills, take a vacation and save her money. Link is https://www.upi.com/7301675092648via@upi.com

I would buy a house number one, well after paying debt bills. Good glad she won it George. We could all use some cash.

If I did win a huge lottery prize, I would also pay my bills as my top priority as well as replace my aging auto and assist my relatives.

@Deepizzaguy From what I’ve heard, relatives crawl out of the walls when they hear of money. Disgusting.

@DianneN I agree with you since the relatives who find out that their relative is rich suddenly pretend to be friendly.

The lottery winner must have heard of the horror stories from others about the friends that will steal their money claiming hard luck stories.

The lottery winner is indeed lucky since winning a huge prize on a scratch off game is nearly impossible.

I know in Michigan they have been trying to make it an "anonymous" state, but so far they have not been able to get that done. I think ultimately she may have to reveal her identity...I don't think there is any way around the current law. But good for her for winning.
