Michelle Johnson won the third and final $1 million prize in the "$1,000,000 Holiday Bonus" scratch-off lottery game.

She chose to take the lump sum payment of $650,000 before taxes rather than the annuity.

Johnson bought the lucky winning ticket at Swift Fresh Market at 1271 Page Blvd in Springfield. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling it.
