SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The owner of the Lewis Adventure Farm and Zoo was hit by an employee and killed in the parking lot of the business on Friday, deputies say. Around 7:45 a.m., deputies with the Oceana County Sheriff's Office were sent to the Lewis Adventure Farm and Zoo after receiving a report that a person had been hit by a vehicle and was stuck underneath it. Responding deputies learned that business owner Cindy Lewis, 56, had been hit by a vehicle driven by a 61-year-old New Era woman, who worked at the business. Lewis had already been removed from underneath the vehicle by the time deputies arrived. She was taken to the hospital, where she died on Sunday.

Michigan woman wins $1 million on lottery ticket she forgot she bought
An Oceana County woman won $1 million on a Michigan Lottery ticket she nearly forgot she bought. The 63-year-old woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, bought her winning Millionaire Raffle ticket on the Michigan Lottery's website. "I won $100 playing an online game, so I decided to use some of my winnings to purchase Powerball and Mega Millions tickets online," said the player. "When I was purchasing those tickets, I saw the Millionaire Raffle game and thought, 'Why not?' and purchased one ticket. "I forgot I had purchased the raffle ticket until I saw an email from the Lottery one day with information on claiming my prize. I didn't believe it when I logged into my Lottery account and saw a $1 million prize pending. I logged out and logged back in several times, and the prize was still there, so I knew it had to be real. I am still trying to wrap my head around it!" The woman plans to save her winnings. "Purchasing a Millionaire Raffle ticket on a whim led to a huge $1 million payday for this lucky player!" said Michigan Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. "The Lottery's online platform offers players several different ways to play and win with online instant games, draw games, and online raffles, including the Millionaire Raffle game." The Millionaire Raffle is an auto-renewing raffle game that launched in December 2024. The Michigan Lottery sells 100,000 tickets per draw, with drawings held after 100,000 tickets are sold.
