SOUTH CAROLINA, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Reports are that someone in South Carolina went to bed a billionaire, if they could sleep.
There was some initial confusion whether there was a winner or not, but apparently there was.
The winner now has some decisions to make.
The first installment of 30 annual payments would just be for about $22-million.
The lump sum is about $913-million, and that’s before state and federal taxes are taken out.
Talk about depreciation.
Michigan Lottery Spokesman Jeff Holyfield says that makes the schools the only big winner in this state with about a $18-million boost to the school aid fund, and that doesn’t count the money taken in since Friday.
Wednesday’s Powerball is for $650-million, if you haven’t given up.
There may still be thousands of winners due smaller prizes.
Lottery officials say a $1-million ticket was sold in Grandville.
The numbers were 5, 28, 62, 65, 70, and the mega ball was 5. The Megaplier was 3.
