The first day of 2024 brought us a new Powerball winner. The lucky player purchased his entry in Michigan. It was the only ticket featuring all the winning numbers 12-21-42-44-49/ 01.
However, 6 players guessed all the main numbers right, but not the Powerball number. This means they won the second prize. Moreover, 2 of these players had selected the Power Play and, therefore, saw their prize double!
Can you imagine checking the Powerball results and finding out you became a millionaire?!
