Sometimes dreams do come true.
A 46-year-old woman from Kalamazoo County, Michigan, won a $300,000 lottery jackpot after having previously dreamed it would happen.
The woman, who is choosing to remain anonymous, won playing the Cashword Multiplier scratch-off game, which she bought from a Citgo gas station in Kalamazoo.
“Years ago, I had a dream that I won $25,000 playing Cashword,” the woman told Michigan Lottery officials when she claimed her prize this week. “I never, ever thought I would actually hit this big, but it’s a great feeling!”
The lucky player said she plans to use the winnings to buy a new home and will invest what’s left.
“I don’t know anyone who has won big on a Lottery game, so I never really thought it actually happened,” she said. “I sure am glad I was wrong!”
Since launching in June, Cashword Multiplier has paid out more than $15 million in prizes, according to the Michigan Lottery. More than $17 million in prizes remain.
