A Linden woman was the first Michigan Lottery player to become a millionaire in the updated Mega Millions game.

A Michigan woman, who said she had an “itch” to play the Mega Millions game, won a huge prize, lottery officials said.

A Genesee County woman had an itch to play Mega Millions this month — and it won her $3 million. Pamela Dietrich, 58, of Linden purchased a ticket online for the April 11 drawing that matched the five white balls — 15, 37, 38, 56 and 58 — according to the Michigan Lottery.
