Alisa Moore, a 61-year-old Hazel Park resident, has turned a grocery run into a $1 million Powerball prize. Moore told Michigan Lottery officials that she bought the winning ticket as she left a Kroger in Royal Oak, according to UPI.
Moore said she had finished shopping at the Kroger on East 12 Mile Road when she stopped at the store's Lottery kiosk and picked up a ticket for the Oct. 19 drawing.
Where did Alisa Moore buy the winning Powerball ticket?
The ticket was purchased at the Kroger on East 12 Mile Road in Royal Oak, Moore told Michigan Lottery officials, UPI reported.
Her ticket matched all five white-ball numbers drawn: 08, 31, 32, 42 and 48. That result brought her a $1 million Powerball prize, according to UPI.
Moore said she checked the ticket the following day with the Michigan Lottery app. The first scan showing $1 million was hard to accept, she told lottery officials, so she checked it twice more.
She said she plans to use the money to pay off her mortgage and put some aside for the future.
What were the winning numbers on Moore's ticket?
The five white balls Moore matched were 08, 31, 32, 42 and 48, UPI reported. Her ticket was entered for the Oct. 19 Powerball drawing.
