In Michigan, a Lucky Lady Won a $100,000 Powerball Prize
A Ypsilanti Woman “Audrey Fines” daily routine in Michigan led her to a delightful surprise! Ypsilanti resident Audrey Fines wakes up every day gets her coffee brewing, and heads to her computer to check her email and social media. But on March 6th, this familiar routine took an unexpected turn that led to a delightfully satisfying conclusion: a $100K Powerball payday!
Fines, a 41-year-old avid lottery player, typically relied on the Michigan Lottery app to scan her scratch-off tickets. It was a convenient system – quick, easy, and a familiar part of her day. However, on this particular morning, a sense of spontaneity struck. While logged into her lottery account, a whim took hold, and Fines decided to explore the option of purchasing tickets online. This seemingly minor change in her routine, a break from the usual app-based routine, turned out to be a golden one.
She told the Michigan Lottery officials, “I mostly use the app to scan my instant tickets, but sometimes while I’m on my account, I will buy some tickets online.” March 6th online browsing proved to be a golden one because Fines decided to take a chance on the Powerball & she purchased a ticket electronically. Her ticket’s lucky numbers were; 06-19-28-44-60, PB: 10 & were a perfect match for four white balls and the Powerball, translating to a cool $50,000 prize. However, thanks to the Power Play option she selected, the prize doubled to a whopping $100,000!
The next morning when she logged into her lottery account she realized her winning. She said by sharing that time emotion with the Michigan lottery officials “I saw a $100,000 prize pending, and my heart started pounding and adrenaline pumping,” she recounted. The disbelief was real, and she rushed upstairs to share the incredible news with her mom. “I didn’t want to give you a heart attack, but I think I’m having a heart attack myself because I just won $100,000!”
She plans on using the money for practical purposes, tackling bills, and taking a well-deserved vacation.
