KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A Kalamazoo County woman is now $500,000 richer after purchasing a lottery ticket in Kalamazoo Township.
The 37-year-old winner, who wished to remain anonymous, bought the “Triple Bonus Cashword” instant game at the Speedway gas station off of Gull Road near Nazareth Road.
“It took me a minute to realize how much I’d won because the winning puzzle was on the back of the ticket,” the woman said. “I ran out of my house and to my brother’s as fast as I could so he could look over the ticket. I was screaming at the top of my lungs the whole way.”
The woman says she plans to buy a new house and car with her winnings and then save the rest.
According to the Michigan Lottery, players have won more than $27 million dollars playing Triple Bonus Cashword, which launched in December of 2019.
