Later that night before she went to bed she decided to play of the tickets and didn't win, she shared with the Michigan Lottery what happened the next morning.

“I scratched one of the tickets before going to bed and saved the other one for the morning, I scratched the ticket as soon as I woke up and counted the words over and over again when I realized I had 10. I was shocked and excited but tried to stay calm when I realized I’d just won $300,000! It still doesn’t feel real.”

With her winnings, she plans on paying off her car, as well as saving and investing the remaining money.

There have been several big Michigan Lottery wins over the past couple of months.
