Ypsilanti Resident’s Routine Check Turns into a $100,000 Surprise

In an unexpected turn of events, a Ypsilanti local experienced the thrill of a lifetime after purchasing a Powerball ticket through the Michigan Lottery’s online platform. Diverging from her usual practice of scanning scratch-offs via the app, this decision proved to be golden.

At 41, Audrey Fines was in disbelief when her combination of four white balls and the Powerball—06-19-28-44-60, PB: 10—drawn on March 6 secured her a whopping $50,000. Thanks to the Power Play option, her winnings doubled to $100,000.

Recounting the moment of discovery, Fines shared, “Upon seeing a $100,000 win on my account, my excitement was uncontrollable. I alerted my mom, jokingly cautioning her about the potential shock, as I felt overwhelmed by my own fortune.”

With her unexpected windfall, Fines has outlined plans to alleviate financial burdens and indulge in some well-deserved relaxation. The remainder of her prize will be set aside for future use.
