A Presque Isle County man has claimed a $1 million Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery!

Charles Hilger Jr., of Millersburg, matched the five white balls – 03-04-24-36-47 – in the July 25 Powerball drawing to win a $1 million prize. He bought the winning ticket at Basel Oil, located at 153 South 3rd Street in Rogers City. Rogers City is about 55 miles southeast of Mackinaw City.

Hilger Jr., 66, recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize.

Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1. 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.

The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://www.powerball.com. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.
