A 65-year-old woman from Bay County in the US state of Michigan has won a $1.1 million lottery jackpot after trying her luck twice a week for several years.
The woman told lottery officials that she has been playing the Lotto 47 since it first began decades ago, never missing a single draw. She said she has consistently purchased tickets every Wednesday and Saturday since the game’s launch.
For the March 21 draw, she bought a ticket from a local store. Later that night, a neighbor messaged her saying that the same store had sold a jackpot-winning ticket. While she appreciated the information, she never imagined that the winning ticket could be hers.
However, her selected numbers—31, 27, 26, 20, 18, and 04—matched the winning combination, securing her the $1.1 million prize.
The win marks a rewarding end to years of persistence, turning her long-standing routine into a life-changing moment.
