Detroit Woman Wins Large Powerball Prize From the Michigan Lottery
Everyone is talking about the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, topping $1 billion and $720,000 respectively. And while Lamonica Foreman didn't win either of those crazy jackpots, she it tickled to win a piece of a Powerball prize.
The 59-year-old from Detroit cashed in on the June 26 Powerball drawing and took home $200,000. Sure, it's not $1 billion, but Foreman's jackpot is nothing to sneeze at.
Foreman tells the Michigan Lottery she had to take a few deep breaths when she got the email saying she'd won.
“I like to play when the jackpot gets up around $250 million,” said Foreman. “I bought my ticket online and had an email the next morning to check my account. When I logged in and saw the amount of the prize, I had to sit back and take a few deep breaths because I just couldn’t believe my eyes!”
Winnings Times Four
Foreman matched four white balls in the Powerball drawing, netting her a $50,000 prize. But thanks to the Power Play, her prize was multiplied to $200,000.
What Does She Have Planned for the Money?
Foreman tells the lottery she plans to invest her winnings in her retirement.
Powerball and Mega Millions top $1 Billion
Tonight's (7/19) Powerball jackpot is up over $1 billion and Friday's Mega Millions jackpot is currently sitting at $720 million.
If you were to win either of these jackpots, you'd be richer than a handful of Michigan celebrities. Who? Click here to find out.
