Your email spam folder isn't just junk mail.

Laura Spears of Oakland County, Michigan can attest to that, as she recently discovered a $3 million lottery jackpot in hers.

The lucky winner had purchased a Mega Millions ticket on the Michigan Lottery website for the December 31, 2021 drawing. She matched five numbers to win $1 million, plus she had the Megaplier to multiply her prize by three.

"I saw an ad on Facebook saying the Mega Millions jackpot was going up pretty high, so I went into my account and bought a ticket," Spears, 55, told Michigan Lottery officials.

"A few days later, I was looking for a missing email from someone, so I checked the spam folder in my email account."
