An Oakland County woman won a $123,812 Fantasy 5 jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

"I buy tickets regularly and once I have several piled up, I take them to a retailer to check them," said the 42-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous. "I was at the store scanning my stack of tickets, when one said I had to visit a lottery office. After I realized how much I had won, I was in complete shock."

She bought her winning ticket at the Tip Top Liquor and Wine Shoppe, located in Royal Oak.

"I still can't believe I won," said the player. "I have always worked hard at my career in the healthcare field, and this money will provide a nice financial cushion for me."

She plans to buy a house with her winnings.
