When we talk about Michigan Lottery winners, we’re looking at exorbitant amounts of money being handed from the providers over to the players. And in this specific instance, it’s no difference. The winner whose story we are going to be telling had their life changed significantly by winning the lottery.
Isn’t it something special when a matching set of numbers can do so much for the life of an individual or a collective? We’re going to talk about the lucky victor and what she will now be doing with her new found winnings. Follow us as we take you through the journey.
Identifying The Winner
We’ve got a lucky individual from Hastings as the one we will be talking about today. A local gas station in the area was the site of the lucky individual’s purchase. What did she buy? Well, none other than some Powerball tickets. And by the time we get to the end of the tale, she is going to be quite a bit richer for her faith.
Debra Cogger, 64 years of age, is often playing Powerball. She claims that three different times each week, she will stop in and purchase a ticket. Well, this specific day happened to be the one that would have her win coming on and happening in full. A big sum of money was going to now be coming her way, and it was a cause for celebration.
Her initial winnings were just $50K, but Cogger had her winnings doubled thanks to the Power Play bonus. How about some quick simple math. 50 X 2 = 100. $100K was now going to belong to her. How’s that for changing your day in the blink of an eye?
As soon as she was able to get this confirmed by the lottery office, it was told to Cogger that she would have to go to one in a different town to claim her prize. But she called a friend, who was beyond ecstatic for her. The big bucks fell in her lap.
Plans For The Money
Now that Debra Cogger has won $100K, the questions shift to what she should do with all of it. She has a relatively simple plan that many would likely copy if in the same situation. The goal is to use it to pay off her house and put the rest into savings.
Perhaps we haven’t heard the last of Cogger. She could win again.
