CLIVE, Iowa – An Illinois woman has plans to buy a house and a new car and get a big jump start on her retirement planning now that she has won a $2 million Powerball® prize.

"If I do it right, this should set me up for the rest of my life," Lisa Hays said as she claimed her prize Monday at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive.

Baltimore – Robert Stanton, a utility worker in Anne Arundel County, Md., is what Maryland Lottery officials refer to as a “jackpot hunter.” While he may buy a Pick 4 ticket or scratch-off occasionally, this Lottery player is after the bigger money that a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot can deliver.

Although he missed hitting the jackpot, the 46-year-old was more than pleased to claim a $50,000 prize in the Jan. 30 drawing!

RALEIGH – Margo Konopacke of Travelers Rest, S.C., treated herself to a Powerball ticket for her birthday and ended up with a $2 million present.

LANSING, Mich. – Two members of a Genesee County lottery club are celebrating after winning a $2 million Powerball prize.

The Mo + Jack Lottery Club matched the five white balls drawn – 07-36-48-57-58 – in the Jan. 12 drawing to win a $1 million prize. Thanks to the Powerplay, the prize was multiplied by two for a $2 million prize. The winning ticket was bought at Randy’s Food Center, located at 5272 Miller Road in Flint.

George Tinnell may have had a premonition. When the Manassas man bought a Powerball ticket, he told the store clerk: “ I think I’m going to win this time.”

As it turns out, he was right. Mr. Tinnell matched the first five numbers in the Jan. 5 Powerball drawing to win $1 million.

BISMARCK, ND – A Powerball Pick & Click online play ticket purchased in North Dakota for the Saturday night draw, January 12, 2019, matched all five white balls, making it worth $1 million. The winning numbers were 7, 36, 48, 57, 58, and the Powerball was 24. The Power Play multiplier was 2.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Stanis Tabler of Charles Town is West Virginia’s latest $1 million winner from the popular Powerball™ game. Tabler matched five numbers and missed only the Powerball number in the Wednesday, January 9, Powerball drawing.

Tabler, a professional driver who admittedly rarely plays Powerball™, purchased his lucky ticket at the South End BP on Winchester Avenue in Martinsburg on a whim that started his new year off right.

A gathering with extended family led to a $50,000 Powerball prize for Roger Birdsong of Columbia. It was while eating dinner at Como Smoke and Fire that the group decided each individual family should buy a ticket at the gas station next door for that night’s Powerball drawing. With a stop at Steve-O’s, 4600 Paris Road, Birdsong purchased a $2 ticket that would soon be worth $50,000.

The ticket matched four out of five white-ball numbers, as well as the Powerball number drawn on Dec. 26.
