Michigan Woman Wins $1M After Mistakenly Thinking It Was A Scam Call

A Michigan woman won $1M playing the Michigan Lottery--and thought she was being scammed. It would be hard to believe what you're hearing and I don't blame her!

If you received a phone call saying you won $1M, would you believe it? Having listened to so much Dave & Chuck The Freak, I would think I was the potential victim of a scam! I wouldn't believe them and would probably hang up on them. If that were the case, I'd miss out on a $1M pay day! This woman almost had it happen to her. Valerie Williams says she'd been using the Michigan Lottery app to scan non-winning tickets and didn't realize that by doing so she was entering herself in second-chance drawings. That's where she hit her huge pay day.

UPI says she received a call that she was hesitant to answer but did and learned she was a contestant in the $1 Million Electric Giveaway meaning she could spin the big prize wheel at Comerica Park during a Detroit Tigers game. Well, she ended up hitting it big and scored the million-dollar prize.

The 65-year-old from Westland tells UPI, "I was nervous and excited as the wheel was spinning and couldn't believe it when it made one last click and landed on my color. All I kept thinking to myself was: 'no way!' It was a a great feeling and I'm still in shock."
