A Michigan Lottery player has won a $1 million prize after matching five white balls in the Powerball drawing. The winning numbers were 08-12-45-46-63, and the ticket was purchased online at MichiganLottery.com.
"A lucky Michigander woke up this morning to news that they won $1 million playing Powerball at MichiganLottery.com," said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. "Winning $1 million would be a dream come true for many Lottery players, and I want to be the first to congratulate the player on their big win!"
The winner is advised to contact the Lottery's Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to claim their prize. Powerball prizes must be claimed within one year from the drawing date.
Powerball tickets can be bought for $2 each at various retailers and online. Players have the option to add "Power Play" for an additional $1, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times, with a maximum of $2 million. Another option, Double Play, offers a second chance to win up to $10 million for an extra $1 per play.
Powerball drawings occur at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. They are available for viewing live online. Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
