One member of the lottery group who chose to remain anonymous recently cashed in the winning ticket at Michigan Lottery headquarters in Lansing.

They shared what the exciting moment of winning felt like:

“I bought several Fast Cash tickets that night because the jackpot was so high. I looked this ticket over and thought it was a $50 winner, but I scanned it to double check. I got a message to file a claim at the Lottery office, so I scanned it on the Michigan Lottery app. I started shaking when $4.14 million came up on my phone screen! Winning this kind of money is life-changing.”
