Trip to Michigan yields lottery windfall for lucky Las Vegan

Tue, Jun 23, 2015 (7 p.m.)

Las Vegas isn’t the only place to get lucky.

Las Vegas resident Patricia Kraydich won $390,000 in the Michigan Lottery after visiting her two newborn grandchildren earlier this month in Macomb, northeast of Detroit.

On a whim, Kraydich picked up two “Lucky for Life” Lottery quick picks at the recommendation of a 7-Eleven clerk on 21 Mile Road in Macomb.

Kraydich quickly forgot all about the tickets.

“As I was getting ready for bed, I saw the ticket on the dresser out of the corner of my eye, so I checked it on my phone,” she said. “I was stunned.”

Kraydich immediately ran to tell her daughter. In disbelief, her daughter double-checked the numbers and found that all five matched.

Kraydich chose a lump sum payment of $390,000 over $25,000 annually for 20 years or life. Kraydich has since purchased a home.
