WESTPHALIA, MI — A Clinton County woman recently had a champagne celebration with her family after winning $6 million playing the Michigan Lottery’s Millionaire Maker instant game.
The player bought her winning ticket at J&H Convenience Store at 305 South Westphalia Street in Westphalia. The town is located about 25 miles northwest of Lansing. She recently visited Lottery headquarters in downtown Lansing to claim the big prize.
The unidentified woman chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $4.1 million rather than annuity payments for the full amount. With her winnings, she plans to start college funds for her grandchildren and donate.
“I don’t plan to change my life much, but I will use the money to change lives,” said the player. “I want to use my winnings as a bonus to help others.”
