Bay County woman drops vacation plans, ends up winning $500,000 lottery jackpot
![]() 2736 Sunday, 29 September, 2024, 22:48 A little disappointment turned into the thrill of a lifetime for Traci Verbowski as she recently won a lottery jackpot worth $500,000 while playing the Michigan Lottery’s Detroit Lions instant game. “I really wanted to go on a vacation a few weekends ago, but we ended up staying home and went out to dinner that Saturday night instead,” said Verbowski, 50, of Kawkawlin. “After dinner, I remembered I had a few Detroit Lions winning tickets, so I stopped to cash them and purchased some more. I put the tickets in my purse until I got home later that night. “When I scratched one of the tickets and saw I won $500,000, I yelled: ‘I think I just won a lot of money!’ I showed my family the ticket and no one could believe what they were seeing. I haven’t slept a full night since because I have been so anxious and excited to come claim my prize. |
