On the Michigan Lottery website, Spears had earlier purchased a Mega Millions ticket for the December 31, 2021.  

The 55-year-old lucky winner matched five numbers to win $1 million and also had the Megaplier to multiply the prize by three.  

“I saw an ad on Facebook that the Mega Millions jackpot was getting pretty high, so I got on my account and bought a ticket. A few days later, I was looking for a missing email from someone, so I checked the spam folder in my email account,” Spears told Michigan Lottery officials.

“That’s when I saw an email from the Lottery saying I had won a prize. I couldn’t believe what I was reading, so I logged in to my lottery account to confirm the message in the email. It’s all still so shocking to me that I really won $3 million!” added Spears.  

Spears, who claimed her prize last week, wants to share winnings with family and retire early.
