In the latest story of Michigan lottery success, we’re looking back at a winner that plays the Powerball each and every week. For some folks, this is kind of a ritual that they partake in and every seven days they are right at it again. It is just something to do once a week in the same way that other folks may like their morning coffee or their diet-breaker once a week.

The victor made herself a smooth $150K by just playing weekly and eventually coming away with the prize after all this time. So let’s talk about the winning story and set the stage for exactly how it happened.

The Story Of The Win

Brandy Bowditch, 39 years of age, was playing the Powerball at PS Food Mart in Coldwater, Michigan. This is a place she often visits, so there was a good chance she would leave just as she normally would. Not any richer, having spent her money to try and play and see what might actually happen. Only this time, something actually did.

Bowditch, who buys two tickets every week, did what she normally does. She scanned her ticket and in doing so received a message saying she had to file a claim at the Lottery office. The clerk then told her it means she must have won big.

As soon as she checked the numbers and it was confirmed that the grand prize was going to come her way, she was absolutely stunned. When the clerk yelled out that she had just walked away $150K richer, neither of them were able to actually believe it took place. This was one of the best days of Bowditch’s life, and she has the Michigan lottery to thank for this event. 

What Comes Next?

For Bowditch, she’ll receive her money right away and has some plans for what to get done with it. She is going to pay off her house, pay some bills, and then put the rest away in her savings.

Use it for what it has to be done for, and then make sure to stash the rest for when the time is right. A smart individual.
