Macomb County Woman Wins $150K Powerball Prize
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
ST. CLAIR SHORES, MI — A St. Clair Shores woman’s dreams came true after she won a $150,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery.
Joyce Ewald, 70, won the prize after matching four white balls (28-45-53-56-69) and the Powerball (20) in the Nov. 5 drawing to win a $50,000 prize, which grew to $150,000 thanks to the Power Play. She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
"I play Powerball regularly and have always dreamt of winning big," Ewald said. "When I checked the numbers online after the drawing and saw I’d won a $150,000 prize, I was in complete shock. Winning is such a wonderful feeling!"
Ewald said she plans to save her winnings.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on Nov. 19. One ticket bought in Kansas won the $93 million jackpot. The current jackpot stands at $89 million.
Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1.
The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://www.powerball.com.
