A woman played the lottery on what she described as a "tough day" - and ended up winning $100,000 (£82,000).
The lucky woman stopped to have a flutter and scooped $100,000 on Michigan Lottery’s Diamond Payout instant game online.
After a gloomy start to her morning, Jamila McCaskill ended up having the day of her life.
Jamila said: “I was having a tough day and took a break to relax. I logged in to the Lottery app to do my Daily Spin to Win and then decided to play some games.
“As I was scrolling through the different games, Diamond Payout caught my eye, so I started playing. On only my second spin, the screen lit up and I knew I had won a prize.”

“This is by far the largest prize I have ever won, and it feels amazing.”
Jamila recently visited Michigan Lottery’s headquarters to claim her cash prize.
She said she plans to use her winnings to pay off her mortgage.
Last month, a Michigan man “completely lost it” in a petrol station when he used his chance to spontaneously buy a lottery ticket and ended up scooping over £85,000 ($104,000).
Matthew Spaulding, 41, said he even “startled some customers” due to his over-celebrations in the store.
He called winning $107,590 (£87,923) on the lottery “an awesome feeling”.
Matthew bought the winning Money Match Fast Cash ticket at the Mobil petrol station in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He said he plans to save his winnings for a rainy day.
