LANSING, Mich. — A Big Rapids woman is $100,000 richer after matching four white balls and the Powerball in a recent Powerball drawing!
The numbers were drawn July 15. They were 02-09-43-55-57 (PB 18).
The Michigan Lottery says 61-year-old Polly Byers won $50,000 in the drawing but doubled her earnings with the Power Play.
“Normally, the email says how much I won but this one didn’t have an amount. That’s when I logged in to my account and saw that I had won $100,000!” recalls Byers. “I thought I might still be sleeping or dreaming, so I logged out of my account and logged back in, and the prize was still there! I must have checked my account 50 times throughout the day just to make sure I really won.”
We’re told she plans to share her winnings with her family and pocket what’s left.
