“I thought I’d just give it a try,” she said.

Powell viewed her ticket as the winning numbers were announced later that day.

She told authorities, “I was staring at the statistics and then I screamed at my spouse. “Oh my God, we won,” I exclaimed.”

According to authorities, Powell’s $3 Power Play ticket initially rewarded her $50,000, but when she also got the 3X Power Play multiplier, her jackpot increased to $150,000.

Powell remarked, “I never would have thought I would win something like this. I was told by the store clerk, “You really have beginner’s luck,”

Powell’s take-home pay after taxes was $106,876. She informed authorities that she intends to finance a new home and a car.

“It’s like a dream,” she said. “Except I haven’t been able to sleep.”
