LANSING, Mich., May 13, 2026 – A lucky set of numbers from a Zoltar machine in Las Vegas led a Fraser man to a $1 million Powerball win 30 years later!
“About 30 years ago, I was in Las Vegas and got a fortune from a Zoltar machine,” said Stephen Huesgen, 56. “On my fortune, there was a set of lucky numbers, so I have been playing those numbers on lottery games ever since.
“The morning after the Powerball drawing, I saw an email from the Lottery, which is when I found out I’d won a $1 million Powerball prize. I yelled to my wife: ‘Is this real?’ I don’t think this is going to fully hit me until I cash the check!”
Huesgen matched the five white balls – 24-29-32-49-63 – in the April 22 drawing to win a $1 million prize. He bought the winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com. With his winnings, he plans to pay off his house and car, take a vacation, and save for retirement.
