St. Clair County Woman’s Luck Wins $264K Michigan Lottery Jackpot

What a most wonderful time of the year, especially for an anonymous winner of the Fast Cash Jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

The lucky winner purchased her winning ticket at Ray’s Market, located in Smith’s Creek. After playing a $20 Lucky 7’s Lottery game she won $14,838, but then she also matched the bonus jackpot number for $250,000 which then bumped her winnings up to $264,838. 

To prove how lucky the winner is, she also won a $4million prize in 2017 after playing $30 on an instant ticket. “…I couldn’t believe I won again! I didn’t have as crazy of a reaction as I did when I won the $4million, but it was still an amazing feeling,” says the anonymous winner.

YMCA Programs To Beat The Winter Blahs

The cold weather has arrived, and with that comes snow days for students whenever the schools close due to inclement weather or driving conditions. No school means you’ll probably be listening to your children telling you how bored they are all day. Well the Blue Water YMCA is offering a few programs that will give them something to do on those snow days, as well as during the holiday breaks.

Students ages K – 6th grade can participate in the Holiday or Snow Day Camps if you’re looking for some indoor fun on the days kids don’t have school due to closings. From 7AM – 6PM students can participate in activities such as swimming, crafts, gym time, and snacks. The Holiday Camp would be available on all holiday breaks and the Snow Day Camp would be available on snow day closings. 

To register for the programs it costs $31/day for members, and $32/day for non-members. Financial assistance is available. So, let’s keep our kids active this winter and let them experience the Blue Water YMCA with these programs.
