Midland County man wins $100,000 Powerball prize
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
A Midland County man feels “blessed and fortunate” after winning $100,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Powerball game.
Troy Moulton, of Sanford, matched the four white balls and the Powerball – 20-31-38-40-49 PB: 21 – in the Sept. 11 drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Powerplay, the prize was multiplied to $100,000. He bought his winning ticket at Ellis Party Store, located at 278 West Saginaw Road in Midland.
“I like to play the Powerball game when the jackpot gets high,” said Moulton. “I always play 21 as the Powerball number, so when I was checking the winning numbers, I knew right away that I had at least matched the Powerball.
“Once I went through the rest of my numbers and saw I’d matched four more on that line, I said to my wife: ‘I think we just won some good money!’”
Moulton, 59, visited Lottery headquarters to claim the big prize. He plans to save his winnings.
“I feel blessed and very fortunate to have won $100,000,” Moulton said.
