LANSING, MI (WTVB) – Members of a Calhoun County lottery club have won a $100,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery.
The four-person Blessed Lottery Club matched four white balls and the Powerball (09-35-54-63-64, PB: 01) in the October 4 drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $100,000.
The winning ticket was bought at Wyoming Gas and More, located at 8820 Wyoming Street in Detroit.
Club representative Fredrick Richardson Junior, “Me and a few coworkers started a Lottery club about 14 years ago and we have been playing together ever since. One club member buys tickets to cover drawings for an entire month and then lets the other club members know if we win anything. A club member sent me a picture of our Powerball ticket saying we won $100,000, but I didn’t think it was real at first. Once I looked up the winning numbers, I realized we really did win! We all feel so blessed. It hasn’t sunk in for any of us quite yet, but once the money is in the bank, I think it will start to feel real.”
Club members each plan to pay bills and then save the remainder.
