Michigan Woman's $500K Lottery Win Sparked by Clerk's Suggestion

Initially skeptical, Hughes reread the instructions and returned to the store to confirm her win. "It was surreal when I realized I really had just won $500,000!" she said. She plans to use the winnings to buy a house and save for her children.
Amanda Hughes, 42, from Gwinn, Michigan, won $500,000 after a store clerk recommended a different scratch-off ticket when her preferred game was sold out.
