Oct. 14 (UPI) -- A Michigan woman said she initially thought she was being scammed when she received a phone call telling her she had won $100,000 in a second-chance lottery drawing.

Port Huron resident Jami Hawkins, 42, told Michigan Lottery officials she was skeptical when she listened to a voicemail from lottery officials saying she had won $100,000 from a drawing she entered by using the Michigan Lottery app to scan her non-winning $300,000,000 Extraordinaire tickets.
