  • Michigan woman, 26, wins $4M jackpot on lottery ticket gifted to her by her dad


    LANSING, MI — An Oakland County woman is celebrating a gift that will change her life after she won a $4 million jackpot on the Michigan Lottery’s $150,000,000 Spectacular instant game.

    “My dad bought a $150,000,000 Spectacular instant game ticket and gave it to me,” said the 26-year-old winner, who chose to remain anonymous. “I was surprised when he handed it to me, and I asked him why he bought it for me. He said it was a ‘just because gift,’ which I though was really nice of him.

    “When I scratched the ticket off, I was stunned to see that it was a $4 million winner. I had so many emotions going through my body. I screamed. I cried. I was and still am shocked I won $4 million.”

    The winning ticket was sold at the Light House Liquor, located at 13651 West 9 Mile Road in Oak Park. The winner elected to receive her prize as a one-time lump-sum payment of about $2.7 million rather than the annuity. With her winnings, she plans on saving the money.

    “Winning $4 million is life changing for anyone, but especially for this young woman who is only 26 years old,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “She will be able to use this prize to positively impact her life for many years to come.”

    For the latest on Michigan Lottery, check out the official Michigan Lottery site, which also offers more information on instant tickets, raffles and other lottery games.

    The last players from Michigan to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot is the Breakfast Club lottery club which claimed a $842 million jackpot in June 2024. The members plan to use the money to buy a home in Florida and travel.

    And while they were lucky winners, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a Mega Millions winner worth $1 million sold in Southfield in 2023 went unclaimed. The money instead went to the state’s School Aid Fund.

    Michigan woman, 26, wins $4M jackpot on lottery ticket gifted to her by her dad

    In a stroke of incredible luck, a 26-year-old woman from Michigan has won a whopping $4 million jackpot on a lottery ticket that was gifted to her by her own father.

    The young woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, received the winning ticket as a gift for her birthday from her dad. Little did she know that this gift would turn out to be life-changing.

    After scratching off the ticket, the woman was left in disbelief as she realized she had hit the jackpot. She immediately called her father to share the incredible news, and they both couldn’t believe their luck.

    The $4 million prize will undoubtedly change the young woman’s life in many ways. She plans to use some of the money to pay off her student loans and help her family. She also wants to save some for the future and perhaps even take a well-deserved vacation.

    This heartwarming story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best gifts come in unexpected forms. Congratulations to the lucky winner on her incredible win!

Great gift for anybody!!

5 out of 5 stars

Great gift for anybody!!
This was a purchase for my in-laws and it was such a hit!! They have raved over and over about it and say it’s the best present ever. They since bought one for us and their daughter. It is so easy to set up and use. The app is an easy way to add pictures to the frame and show them what we’ve been up to. They love getting new pictures. I can add pictures easily to my own frame and my sisters now, too. The quality is great. You can choose different settings for the pictures to show up. Yes, it’s a little pricey but so worth it for someone who has everything!! Go in as a group gift or make it birthday and Christmas… but just buy this for your parents and they will love it forever!! We put ours on a little easel on the kitchen counter. I love mine too.

    Great Cloud Enabled picture frame!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015

    Size: 8 InchColor: BlueVerified Purchase

    We gave the black frames to my parents and grandmother for Christmas (celebrated a few days early). They are really liking them so far. I've been keeping an eye out for a cloud enabled picture frame I liked for years. They either had a terrible resolution, a monthly fee for cloud services, or were atrociously expensive. I've even contemplated making my own with a Raspberry Pi. The ones by NixPlay work exactly the way I think they should at a reasonable price and include cloud space for uploading/managing pictures..

    My siblings and I all have the NixPlay app installed on our phones. When something interesting happens and we take a picture, in just a few seconds we can push it to the picture frames. I was amazed how quickly new pictures get to the frames (a couple minutes at most). You can also set it to show the newest pictures first, so you are always sure to discover the new stuff.

    The web management is fantastic too. It gives a lot of control over albums, playlists, and what feeds to each picture frame. You can have multiple frames with different pictures on each if you like.

    Finally, I can control individual picture frame settings from the website too (like sleep times, how quickly the pictures advance, etc). You can control many of these features directly from the frame too. But when you have non-tech savvy relatives like I do, it's easier to just change the settings remotely instead of trying to walk them through it over the phone.

    The only feature I'm a little confused about is the motion sensor. It seems to do a good job keeping the display on when there is activity in the room. However, once the display shuts off due to lack of motion it doesn't seem to turn back on again when you walk in front of it. Eventually, I'll get around to calling Nixplay and asking about this (they were very helpful with pre-purchase questions, so I'm sure they'll be helpful with this one as well). It's not a big deal and I'm sure it saves a little power by not looking for motion all the time. I just wish there was a setting I could change to make motion trigger the display coming back on.

    If you're looking for the best Wifi photo frame on the market, you've found it….

    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017

    Size: 8 InchColor: BlueVerified Purchase

    I purchased a wifi frame from a different manufacturer, and while I found the screen OK, the UI interface (both on the unit itself, in the web app, and in the mobile app) was non-intuitive and the overall quality of the product build (including the box and cheap plastic stand), sub-par. As a key example, the SD card couldn't be used to expand the storage on the unit and as this was a gift for my non-technologically sound mother, going through a poor UI and figuring out how to copy photos from internal storage (used when emailing or uploading pics) to an SD card .. was simply impractical. I didn't even want to introduce it to her. Back to Amazon it went.

    This frame was bought as my alternative. And, OH MY. The screen is superb, the mobile app is superb, and the Nixplay web app – OH MY. 5 frames in one account, 10GB storage, differing albums, multiple playlists, simple linkage to social media accounts (and then the ability to delink while maintaining pictures in independent playlists) .. unbelievable, and best of all: straightforward. You can also control *EVERY* frame setting from the web interface – with ease. This means no joke, I can plug the frame in .. connect it to my Mom's wifi – and DONE. She will *NEVER* have to touch the thing or it's remote, again.

    The colors of the frames are also great.

    The one thing I'd say they should improve .. the ability to not just pan an image, but zoom in towards the center of an image with a configurable timing on the zoom. This is because many mobile phone pics aren't exactly perfect and there's a lot of 'whitespace' that ends up showing on a subset of pics as a result of not having this. I expect this'd be a quick software update. To ask for it, I emailed support this morning (Sunday), and got a response back from Vermie within 30 MINUTES (on a Sunday morning) indicating it's on their future feature list and they'd log my request. Amazing the responsiveness.

    It takes a lot for me to write a review, let alone a 5 star review – but the quality of this product and the support is so striking, it's worth it. To the point where I just bought a second 'Seed' frame, for myself, directly from the Nixplay website, after using the one I got as a gift for my Mom from Amazon for 30 minutes.

    Stellar job, Nixplay.

    This is a great frame to send to your parents

    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016

    Verified Purchase

    This is a great frame to send to your parents, grandparents or other non-tech savvy adult who would enjoy pictures of family in their environment. They get to see and watch your kids grow up, your adventures and life in general even if they are not directly around. This is great for family that lives across the country.

    I have purchased 3 of these for family all in different Cities. It is easy as the administrator to setup photo albums, playlists and external user accounts that can also add photos to your devices. Adding pictures from my daughter's birthday party was quick from the Android app, and they appeared on my Mom's unit during the party so she was able to call after and talk to her granddaughter with a better sense of what was going on in her world. It was a great memory saver for those who aren't there everyday,

    Only con I have right now is that the remote being line of sight makes adding the frame to the wireless on initial setup a bit difficult to do when you aren't that tech savvy.

    Things I would like to see would be a piezo speaker that sang when a new photo is added to the frame. I think that alone would give it 5 stars. Also a wall-mountable version would be something I would be interested in.

    Great gift for family…

    Reviewed in Canada on January 26, 2018

    Verified Purchase

    Frame is really easy to use and very easy to sync using the Nixplay software. I have small kids and parents/in-laws who want to see up to date pictures of them. It's really easy to upload pictures to it and then sync the pictures across multiple frames all over the world. I use google photos, but it works nicely with most of the major picture apps. The frame also looks very nice and is a pretty well made piece of equipment. Quality of the screen is quite good for the money. The motion sensor is also a fantastic feature as no one needs to turn it on or off and it doesn't run 24/7 when no one is there. I'm not a big fan of the cord which also functions as the frame's stand – it works ok, but I think it would be better to keep the two functions separate.

    We really love this frame! My family has had these for a long time and they kept on asking us if we wanted one and we continued to say no until we were at a family event and my aunt explained why she loves hers so much. She said, she has always taken lots of pictures, but how often do you really look at them? The frame allows very easy transfer (we send them via email and rarely through the app) and we are looking at our wedding pictures again! And pictures from when our kids were super tiny! It's very delightful to watch. The frame has a night sleep mode which is great and also goes to sleep when it doesn't detect motion. We really love it! Best gift ever!

    Unser Einsatz:
    Wir haben seit Weihnachten 2016 zwei 20cm- Geräte im Einsatz und sind vollends zufrieden. Die Geräte wurden an die Großeltern verschenkt. Wir "Posten" regelmäßig neue Bilder auf den Bilderrahmen. Es ist wirklich wie posten und kommt bei den Omas und Opas wirklich gut an. Auch wenn Oma und Opa ein wenig weiter weg wohnen, sind sie so ein kleines Stück näher gerückt und es gibt immer ein wenig Gesprächsstoff.

    Klasse Idee und Umsetzung.

    Technisches:
    Ich möchte technisch wirklich nicht zu sehr auf Details eingehen. Die Einrichtung der Geräte ist recht einfach, die Beschickung mit Fotos ebenso.
    Natürlich muss man sich ein wenig einfinden, aber das halte ich für normal.

    Wir nutzen die kostenfreie App, um vom Handy aus hochzuladen, und posten vom heimischen Rechner aus direkt auf die entsprechenen Bildordner bearbeitete Fotos. Alles läuft total easy ab. So muss es sein.

    Ich bin in der Lage, jeden der zwei Bilderrahmen mit eigenen / individuellen Bildern zu versorgen.
    Die Darstellungsqualität der Displays ist wirklich ordentlich. Leuchtkraft, Farbwiedergabe und Blickwinkel entsprechen absolut meinen Erwartungen.

    Abschließend möchte ich erwähnen, dass man am Gerät selber, wie auch über das Webfrontend der Rahmen technische Details einstellen kann. Ich spreche von Details wie z.B. Einblenden von Uhrzeit, Art der Bildpräsentation (also wie gleiten die Bilder im Rahmen der Diashow ins Bild), An- und Abschaltzeiten, etc. Wenn Oma oder Opa gerne ein Detail geändert hätten, kann ich das aus der Ferne übers Internet erledigen. Prima, wenn man nicht Tür an Tür lebt.

    Die 20cm Bildschirmgröße halte ich für sehr angemessen. Kleiner würde ich den Bildschirm nicht haben wollen, was aber Geschmacksfrage ist.
    Es gibt sicher einige Features mehr, aber ich möchte hier einen Punkt setzen. Die von uns genutzten Punkte sind hiermit beschrieben.

    Von mir daher für genannten Einsatz…. eine Empfehlung, Daumen hoch !! 🙂
    Viele Grüße !!

    Après plusieurs années d'utilisation je poste ce commentaire : je suis ravi. Un de mes meilleurs achats tout confondu !

    Déjà, l'objet est vraiment de bonne facture. L'écran est de qualité magnifique, aucun reflet, une bonne définition et de belles couleurs. Le support avec câble rigide est vraiment une innovation intelligente et fiable, il n'est jamais tombé et est très facile à replacer. Le cadre est aussi très joli.

    Ensuite, côté interface c'est du tout bon aussi. Je trouve que l'ajout de photos est également très aisé. On peut utiliser pleins de systèmes de stockage différents (la plupart des clous existants ainsi qu'un hébergement sur la plateforme de Nixplay) et l'interface de gestion des playlists est très bien faite.

    Le petit plus rigolo: le détecteur de mouvement marche dans la nuit. Mon cadre s'allume quand je passe dans le salon de nuit, ce qui m'a évité plus d'une fois de me casser la figure dans le noir !

    Je pense que si l'occasion se présente j'en prendrai un autre (peut être un nouveau modèle) car je n'ai qu'une envie c'est en mettre d'autres dans ma maison! Nous profitons plus que jamais de nos photos numériques, je pense que toute personne prenant beaucoup de photos se doit d'avoir un cadre comme celui ci.

    Bravo Nixplay, 20/20

    In the Mind’s Eye: Visual Thinkers, Gifted People With Dyslexia and Other Learning Difficulties, Computer Images and the Ironies of Creativity

    When we think of creativity, we often imagine artists painting masterpieces or writers crafting intricate stories. However, creativity comes in many forms, and one group that often goes unnoticed are visual thinkers. These individuals have the ability to see things in their mind’s eye with remarkable clarity, allowing them to create stunning images and designs.

    Interestingly, many visual thinkers also struggle with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. While these challenges can make traditional forms of learning difficult, they can also enhance creativity in unexpected ways. For example, individuals with dyslexia often have strong visual-spatial skills, allowing them to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to problems.

    In today’s digital age, computer images play a crucial role in unleashing the creative potential of visual thinkers. With programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, individuals can bring their ideas to life in ways that were once unimaginable. The ability to manipulate images and experiment with different designs allows for endless possibilities and pushes the boundaries of creativity.

    However, there are also ironies in the relationship between creativity and technology. While computers have revolutionized the way we create and share images, they have also led to a loss of traditional artistic skills. The ease of digital manipulation can sometimes overshadow the painstaking craft of hand-drawn illustrations or paintings.

    In the end, creativity is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that can manifest in a variety of ways. Visual thinkers, gifted individuals with dyslexia, and computer images all play a role in shaping the creative landscape of today. By embracing these diverse forms of expression, we can unlock new possibilities and push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of art and design.
