LANSING, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – A Hastings woman has won a $100,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery. 64-year-old Debra Cogger matched four white balls and the Powerball – 11-19-29-63-68, PB: 25 – in the September 9 drawing to win a $50,000 prize.
Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $100,000. She bought her winning ticket at the Shell gas station on East Green Street in Hastings.
Cogger told the Michigan Lottery, “I buy three Powerball tickets a week and I always play Easy Pick numbers. I scanned my ticket at a store to check it and got a message to file a claim at the Lottery office. I had the cashier check it and he said, ‘I think you need to go to Lansing for this one!’ I called my friend and told him I think I won big, so he came over and checked my ticket on the Lottery app. I couldn’t believe it when he told me the ticket was worth $100,000!”
Cogger plans to pay off her home and then save the remainder.
