Mother and daughter from Porter County claim $150,000 Powerball with Power Play® prize.
Valparaiso resident Robin had heard the recent buzz about the Powerball jackpot growing and asked her mom, Helen, if she would like to purchase some tickets together for the next drawing. Robin suggested they each contribute $20, and the women pooled their money for the Sept. 1 drawing, agreeing that they would split any winnings. Helen purchased the tickets, adding Power Play to each one, as the women had agreed to do.
The morning after the drawing, Robin checked the winning numbers and was shocked to see that one of their tickets had matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball. With the Power Play of 3X, the mother-daughter duo won $150,000! Robin called Helen to share the good news, and the two excitedly made plans to travel to Indianapolis to claim their winnings. The women both plan to save and invest their winnings—after treating the whole family to a celebratory dinner.
The $150,000 winning ticket was purchased at Strack & Van Til #8748 located at 1600 Pioneer Trail in Chesterton.
