ISHPEMING -- Have you ever dreamed of winning money by clicking on an enter to win sweepstakes?

It happened to one woman from Champion. Lynn Ylitalo took home a big check for $10,000 for winning the Own Your Money sweepstakes. She was doing some online banking with Ishpeming Community Federal Credit Union, and just clicked on the link.

The sweepstakes ran throughout the state and was a way to teach people more about credit unions.

"I still can't believe it, it's still unbelievable so it's going to help a lot," said Ylitalo. "I have two kids in college so it's going to help a lot with college."

She's the first winner in the Upper Peninsula. There is also another sweepstakes going on until the end of December.
