“I stopped at 7-Eleven to pick up a couple of things, and I just felt like I needed to listen to that little voice I’d been hearing all day,” she said. “I scratched the ticket off when I got back to my car. At first, I thought they had given me a prank ticket because what I was seeing – a $1 million winner – was so shocking. Once I settled down, I called my mom to tell her, and she broke down in tears.”
Wilk said the money is life-changing for her and her daughter, “My future just got so much brighter,” she added.
Wilk bought her winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on 21 Mile Road in Macomb.
She chose to receive her prize as a lump-sum payment of about $694,000.
Wilk said she plans on buying a home and a new car and saving the rest for her and her daughter’s future.
