KENT COUNTY, Mich. — Jackpot! A Kent County woman is taking home more than $300,000 after winning a Lucky 7s Fast Cash jackpot.
The 70-year-old woman, who is choosing to remain anonymous, collected $349,733 after buying her winning ticket at a Uccello's Ristorante in Grandville.
She said she was in shock after reading that she won.
“I was out to eat and decided to use the $50 I had in my purse towards a couple of Fast Cash tickets,” she said. “I thought I was reading the ticket wrong when I saw I’d matched the number 55 to win the jackpot. I had the waitress look the ticket over for me and when she confirmed what I was seeing we both started shouting.”
She said she plans to save her winnings.
Fast Cash games have a progressive jackpot that increases with each purchase of the games, which range from $2 to $20 to play. They are won instantly, and once someone wins the jackpot, a new one begins to grow.
The woman says that nearly two weeks later, she still can't believe it.
“Winning still doesn’t seem real! I never thought something like this would happen to me,” she said.
