An Ypsilanti woman’s “heart started pounding and adrenaline pumping” when she found out she won a $100,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery!
Audrey Fines, 41, matched four white balls and the Powerball – 06-19-28-44-60, PB: 10 – in the March 6 drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $100,000. She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
“I mostly use my Lottery account to scan instant tickets, but sometimes while I’m on my account I will buy some tickets online,” said Fines. “I logged into my Michigan Lottery account one morning, and when I saw a $100,000 prize pending, my heart started pounding and adrenaline was pumping.
“I ran upstairs and told my mom: ‘I don’t want to give you a heart attack, but I think I’m having a heart attack myself because I just won $100,000!’”
Fines visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to pay bills, take a vacation, and then save the remainder.
“Winning feels great and means financial freedom for me and my family,” said Fines.

For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Powerball ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $10 million in the nightly Double Play drawing.
