Genesee County woman win $3 million on Mega Millions ticket
A Genesee County woman had an itch to play Mega Millions this month — and it won her $3 million.
Pamela Dietrich, 58, of Linden purchased a ticket online for the April 11 drawing that matched the five white balls — 15, 37, 38, 56 and 58 — according to the Michigan Lottery.
She won a $1 million prize that increased to $3 million because of the multiplier.
"I don't consistently play Mega Millions, but I do play from time to time,' Dietrich told the Michigan Lottery. 'I had an itch to play for this drawing, so I logged into my Lottery account and purchased a ticket.

'The next morning, I saw an email from the Lottery regarding a prize. I had a hard time believing it when I saw I had won $3 million! I called the Lottery first thing Monday morning to verify that it was real and schedule an appointment to claim my big prize. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this!'
Dietrich recently claimed her prize and plans to use the money to remodel her home, pay off her vehicle and save the rest.

Retired bus driver wins top prize with $1 random bet. ‘On the road to riches'
A retired bus driver is now 'on the road to riches' after winning the top prize in a Maryland lottery game, officials said. He bought a Pick 5 ticket for both the midday and evening drawings at a gas station in Baltimore, officials said in a June 11 news release. 'Unlike his days of driving a bus where his numbered routes were already chosen, he had no preconceived number selections for his Pick 5 ticket,' officials said in the news release. 'He placed a $1 straight bet on a random set of numbers and now he has a $50,000 prize to celebrate.' The former bus driver knew he'd won when he checked his ticket on the lottery app — and was 'quite happy' with the discovery, 'especially considering that his biggest Lottery prize until now was $5,000.' He doesn't have plans for his win just yet.
