GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY - A Grand Traverse County woman went into detective mode after learning she’d been selected in a random drawing and won a $205,831 BIG CA$H Jackpot prize from the Michigan Lottery.
“I got an email that said I was the winner of the July BIG CA$H jackpot prize, but it seemed too good to be true,” said the player, who wanted to remain anonymous. “The first thing I did was start researching the game on the Lottery website and matching up the phone number in the email to what was online. Then, I called and asked a bunch of questions just to make sure it was real!”
