Hillsdale, MI – Playing the same set of numbers for years paid off for a Hillsdale man who won a $150,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery.
James Scheibner, 57, matched the four white balls in the June 25th drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $150,000. He bought his winning ticket online.
“I play Powerball every week and have played the same set of numbers for years,” said Scheibner. “I logged on to my Lottery account the day after the drawing thinking maybe I’d won a few dollars on the ticket. When I saw the balance of $150,000 in my account, I was shocked. It was very exciting!”
Scheibner recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and invest.
