The Michigan Lottery has played a big role in funding education in our state, which is why it has teamed up with MSU Men's Basketball Coach, Tom Izzo, and FOX 47 News to recognize excellent educators state-wide.

Linda Holmes, a Medical Careers Instructor at Saginaw Career Complex, is this week's Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education award winner. Linda uses her expertise in the field of nursing to ready her students for future careers in medicine. She loves to see the smiles on her students faces when they have accomplished something.

Linda was recognized with a $500 check from the Michigan Lottery and her class will receive a $500 grant!

The Excellence in Education award is sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, proud to provide nearly 19 billion dollars to support public education over the past 40 years.
