“May 22, 2014 –Walt Disney World and Miami better be ready, because Michigan’s latest millionaire is headed to the Sunshine State for a visit.
Cynthia Posey, of Kentwood, claimed her Mega Millions prize of $1 million at the Michigan Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing today. She matched the first five numbers – 10-40-63-64-69 – in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing with a ticket she bought at the Mother Hubbard Party Store in Kentwood.
Posey learned she won the big prize after checking her ticket with the Lottery’s mobile app. She was shocked to see she had matched the five numbers and had to check her ticket a few times before calling a friend to share the good news.”
The website also warns players to not to go overboard with the game:
“Although most people can play Mega Millions and other lottery games without ill effects, there are some people for whom gambling of any sort can be addictive and very damaging. Like other addictions, gambling addiction is a treatable disease. 12-step programs have proven to be particularly helpful. All of the Mega Millions member lotteries support and encourage the work of groups like Gamblers Anonymous and the National Council on Problem Gambling to combat gambling addiction and encourage responsible play. If you think you or a loved one may have a gambling addiction, or if you want to learn more, you can call the National Council on Problem Gambling's confidential 24-hour hotline: 800-522-4700.”
