LANSING, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – A Kalamazoo County woman recently won a $100,000 Powerball prize.
64-year-old Anne Vantongeren of Portage matched the four white balls and the Powerball – 03-06-11-17-22 PB:11 – in the October 10 drawing to win a $50,000 prize.
Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $100,000. She bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
Vantongen said, “I play Powerball often and I typically purchase my tickets online since it’s convenient. The morning after the drawing, I woke up at 3:00 a.m. because I couldn’t sleep and saw I had an email from the Lottery telling me I’d won a prize, but it didn’t say how much. When I logged on to my account and saw a $100,000 balance, I was shocked! I just sat there staring at the amount waiting for it to sink in.”
She recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. Vantongeren plans to complete some home improvements and then save the remainder.
