LANSING, February 11, 2002 – Leora Long of Taylor is rolling in extra dough after recently scratching off a $10,000 top prize in the Michigan Lottery’s "Barrel of Bucks" instant game!

The 44-year-old winner purchased the winning instant game ticket at 7-Eleven #13466, 1901 King Road, in Trenton.

"I was very surprised to realize that I was a winner after I scratched off the ticket," said Long.

The lucky lady, who said she has been playing Michigan Lottery games for the past 20 years, said she kept the winning ticket in her pocket prior to turning it in at the Lottery’s regional office in Dearborn Heights. She added that she plans to use her winnings to buy a new car.

"Barrel of Bucks" is just one of many Michigan Lottery instant tickets available at more than 9,300 Michigan retailers statewide.
