A Genesee County woman has won a $6 million top prize playing the Michigan Lottery’s $300,000,000 Diamond Riches instant game.
The lucky 69-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket at the Pure Market located at 8475 Main Street in Whitmore Lake.
The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim the prize. She chose to receive her prize as a one-time lump sum payment of about $4.1 million, rather than 30 annuity payments for the full amount.
The player plans to save her winnings.
