Oakland County woman wins $4 million in Michigan Lottery scratch-off game
The woman, who chose to stay anonymous, could not believe her eyes in the Kroger parking lot after finding out she won $4 million playing the Michigan Lottery Electric 300s instant game. The Michigan Lottery issued the announcement Tuesday.
"I scratched the ticket in my car in the store parking lot when I was done shopping. When I saw I won $4 million, I was frozen in my seat for a while," said the 77-yeard old player.
The lucky winner purchased her ticket at the Kroger store, located at 670 Highland Avenue in Milford. The Electric 300s launched in June with each $30 ticket offering players a chance to win prizes, ranging from $30 up to $4 million.
The lottery winner said, "I told my husband when I got home, and he had a hard time believing it even after looking the ticket over. We haven't told anyone about our big win, but plan to surprise our family with the news soon".
The player retrieved her winnings from the Lottery headquarters, choosing to receive them in annual payments of about $133,000 for the next 30 years. She plans to complete some home repairs, donate, and share her prize with family.
"The Michigan Lottery offers more than 100 instant games which give players the chance to win life-changing prizes," said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli.
To earn entries in the 1,000,000 Electric Giveaway, players can scan their non-winning Electric family tickets on the Michigan Lottery mobile app ticket scanner by August 24. Visit Michiganlottery.com/electric for more information.
$1.8 billion was won by Lottery players in 2024 from playing the instant games. Lottery instant games may be purchased at retailers across the state.

The Senate and the Supreme Court
The Senate narrowly passed Republicans' sprawling bill to slash taxes and social safety net programs. Vice President JD Vance cast the tiebreaking vote, after three Republican senators — Susan Collins, Thom Tillis and Rand Paul — voted no. The bill extends roughly $3.8 trillion in tax cuts enacted during Trump's first term and increases funding for border security and the military. It cuts about $1.1 trillion from health care programs, mainly Medicaid, which experts estimate will cause nearly 12 million Americans to lose coverage. The bill, which could affect millions of Americans, is a major political gamble, Carl Hulse writes. The House must now decide whether to pass the Senate's version of the bill or try to reconcile it with its own. Any delays could mean that Congress misses the July 4 deadline that Trump set. The Morning's readers were interested in the bill yesterday (it was our most-clicked link). Here's more from Times reporters who were in the Capitol: In all, senators voted 49 times during a 27-hour marathon session. They wore fluffy blankets and pullover sweatshirts inside the chilly chamber. Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, cast a deciding vote for the bill after winning carveouts for her state. 'Do I like this bill? No,' she told NBC News afterward. 'But I tried to take care of Alaska's interests.' Trump and Elon Musk returned to jousting on social media about the legislation. The bill's policies could inflict major financial pain on poor Americans. Republicans have insisted that the policy package will help seniors and the middle class. Here's a fact check. Covering the court The end of June is some combination of Christmas and Tax Day for Adam Liptak, who has covered the Supreme Court for The Times since 2008. That's when the justices release a dizzying array of rulings: This term's major cases, some of which were decided earlier in the year, touched on guns, porn, police tactics, religion, citizenship, L.G.B.T.Q. rights, vapes and TikTok.
