April 1 (UPI) -- A Michigan woman said the wrong click at the right time while buying lottery tickets online led to her winning a $251,738 Fantasy 5 jackpot.
The 57-year-old Oakland County woman told Michigan Lottery officials she was trying to use her own set of numbers while buying a ticket for the March 13 Fantasy 5 drawing on the Michigan Lottery's website.
"I was buying a Fantasy 5 ticket online, and when selecting my numbers, I mistakenly clicked 39 instead of 47, but I decided to keep it because my mother always told me: 'There are no accidents!'" the player said. "Later that night, I saw an email from the lottery, but it wasn't the usual email I get when I win a few dollars."
The email informed the woman she had matched all five numbers in the drawing, 08-10-11-22-39, earning her the $251,738 jackpot.
"After I logged in to my account and saw how much I'd won, I paced my house for several hours trying to wrap my head around it. I like playing the lottery for fun and entertainment, but I never expected to win big, so my immediate reaction was shock and denial," she said.
