The Mega Millions lottery officials are back with a mega-announcement about a player from Oakland County. The officials are excited to talk about Laura Spears who is a lucky resident from Oakland County, Michigan.

Laura Spears had been participating in the Mega Millions game for a very long period of time. Finally, her wish came true in the form of huge prize money she won from one of the most recent draws she participated in.

Laura Spears reportedly participated in the December 31, 2021 draw for the Mega Millions game. The winning numbers for the December 31, 2021 draw for the Mega Millions game were 61-46-30-05-02. The Megaball number for the December 31, 2021 draw was 8, alongside the Megaplier for the particular draw that was 3X.

From the December 31, 2021 draw, Laura Spears won prize money worth $3,000,000. Laura won the prize money after matching all five primary numbers from the December 31, 2021 draw. According to the prize structure for Mega Millions, a player needs to match five primary numbers in order to win the tier-2 prize money for the game.

Laura Spears revealed to the officials that she chose the numbers manually but she had nothing in mind while doing so. She revealed that she randomly chose the numbers on her own and did not go for the Quick Pick option.

She confirmed that the numbers she chose had no sentimental meaning to her. Still, she ended up winning the $3 million prize money from the particular draw.

Laura Spears revealed that she had no idea she had won the prize money worth $3 million playing the Mega Millions game. Although she had purchased the ticket in December, she had not kept track of it.

One day, she was checking her email and mistakenly hit the junk folder option. There she saw an email from Mega Millions about her winning huge prize money. However, she did not pay much attention to it because it was inside spam emails.

As she had not checked her ticket for December 31, 2021, she had an urge to check the spam mail. This is the reason why she was compelled to check the email she had received in the spam.

Therefore, she went ahead and checked the spam mail only to find out that she had won prize money worth $3,000,000 from the draw.

Laura Spears, who is now 55, wants to use the money to buy a new house for her entire family and take everyone on a trip. She wants to spend time with her family and have the best time that has been overdue.
