An Oakland County woman almost fell out of her chair when she found out she’d won a $1 million Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery!

Alisa Moore, of Hazel Park, matched the five white balls – 08-31-32-42-48 – in the Oct. 19 Powerball drawing to win a $1 million prize. She bought the winning ticket at the Kroger store, located at 2200 East 12 Mile Road in Royal Oak.

“On my way out of Kroger, I stopped at the Lottery kiosk and bought a Powerball ticket,” said Moore. “The next day, I scanned the ticket on the Michigan Lottery app to check it. When $1 million came up on my phone screen, I almost fell out of my chair! I scanned the ticket again, and then a third time because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

Moore, 61, recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. With her winnings, she plans to pay off her mortgage and then save the remainder.

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.
