Michigan woman wins lottery twice in three months

March 23 (UPI) -- A lucky Michigan woman claimed her second prize from the state lottery in three months on Wednesday.

The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, won $60,000 playing the Michigan State Lottery's VIP Black online game on Tuesday nearly three months after she won $2 million playing the Lottery's $2,000,000 Bonus instant game in January.

"I've got to be the luckiest woman in Jackson County," the woman said when she claimed her prize at the lottery office the next day. "I'm just still in awe that I won another huge Lottery prize."

The woman won her first prize by purchasing a ticket at the Marathon gas station in Spring Arbor, but won the second playing the VIP Black game online in her home.

"VIP Black is my favorite online game. Since I'm retired now, I have some spare time and decided to play the game Tuesday afternoon. I hit for $60,000 on the first number of my third ticket," she said.

She plans to save up her winnings to continue enjoying her retirement with her husband.

"This really has been the most amazing year for me. It's like a big fat dream and I don't want to wake up," she said.
