The official Powerball lottery website is reporting on the recent big money jackpot winner, who brought home an extra quarter billion or so:
“The dream of being a Lottery jackpot winner has come true for a Three Rivers woman who won a $310.5 million Powerball jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.
“Julie Leach, 50, matched all of the winning numbers drawn in the Sept. 30 Powerball drawing: 21-39-40-55-59 and the Powerball, 17, to win the enormous jackpot. Leach's big win marks the third time a Michigan player has won the Powerball jackpot. The $310.5 million jackpot is the second-largest ever won in the state.
"’I've played the Lottery for a long time and have dreamed of this day, but I never thought it would actually come,’ ‘said Leach. "I have been in shock since I checked my ticket Thursday morning, and I don't know if it will ever wear off." Leach bought her winning ticket about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Three Rivers West Shell gas station, located at 1223 West Michigan Avenue in Three Rivers. Three Rivers is about 30 miles south of Kalamazoo.
"’My boyfriend told me I should stop and buy some Powerball tickets on my way to work because the jackpot was so huge,’ said Leach. ‘I stopped at the Shell station and bought 10 Powerball plays for $20. When I got back to my car I tossed the tickets in my console and went to work.’
“During her lunch break about 1 a.m., Leach was waiting for her food in a drive through lane when she remembered she had purchased tickets for the Powerball drawing.”
