July 30 (UPI) -- A Michigan woman found what appeared to be a suspi- cious email in her spam folder, but soon discovered she had actually won a $207,199 lottery prize.
The 54-year-old Macomb County woman told Michigan Lottery officials she was wary of the email because she didn't realize she had been earning Second Chance drawing entries by playing certain online lottery games.
"I didn't know that by play- ing certain games online I was earning entries into a second chance drawing, so
I was confused when I came across an email from the Michigan Lottery in my spam folder saying I'd won a $207,199 BIG CA$H Second Chance jackpot prize," the player recalled. The woman said some fur- ther research led to a big surprise.
"After looking into it, I fig- ured out how I had earned the entries, and then I checked three different times to make sure the email was real. This win is so exciting and couldn't have come at a better time," she said.
The winner said she plans to use her prize money to pay bills and invest.

July 31 (UPI) -- Traffic was delayed on a Texas high- way when a flatbed trailer lost its unusual load: a mili- tary tank.
The tank, believed to be an M109 Howitzer, fell from a flatbed trailer about 4 p.m. Sunday on Interstate 10, near the Wurzbach exit in San Antonio.
Wrecker San Antonio was called in to lead the recov- ery efforts and officials said they had been in touch with Joint Base San Antonio- Camp Bullis.
The tank was not being transported as part of a mil- itary convoy and no uni- formed military personnel were spotted at the scene.
The roadway was cleared by 8 p.m.
