A Kalamazoo woman turned 20 into 3 million playing the Michigan Lotterys Mega Millions game! My husband and I buy Mega Millions tickets every once in a while when the jackpot is up there said Carol Bukant 79. Since the jackpot was getting close to 1 billion we decided to buy 20 worth of tickets. The next morning my husband checked them and we were both shaky and excited when we thought wed won 1 million. Shortly after we realized we had a 3X multiplier and actually won 3 million. It was amazing! Carol Bukant cashed in winning 3 million during the most recent Mega Millions jackpot run where the Mega Millions jackpot reached 980 million said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. Not only are jackpot runs good news for players but they are also good news for schools because they increase sales which in turn helps the Lottery increase its contribution to the School Aid Fund.
