Million dollar Powerball ticket won by a Cass County man

A Cass County man found out he’d won a $1 million Powerball prize when he logged into his Michigan Lottery account the morning after the drawing and “saw a lot of zeros!” Cain Bice, of Union, matched the five white balls in the April 6 drawing to win the big prize: 22-27-44-52-69.

He bought his winning ticket online. Union is about 45 miles southwest of Kalamazoo.

“I bought a few more Powerball tickets than I usually do since the jackpot was over $1 billion,” said Bice.

“The morning after the drawing, I logged into my Michigan Lottery account and saw a lot of zeros in my account balance.

I rubbed my eyes thinking I was still dreaming. Once I realized I had won $1 million, I started shouting in excitement!

“My wife asked what was going on, so I showed her my phone with the winning amount on the screen.

Once I was able to calm down and regain my composure, we called our family to tell them the good news!” Bice, 31, visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize.

With his winnings, he plans to buy a house, buy a car, and take a trip to Disney World.

“Winning is unreal. I keep waiting to wake up because it still feels like a dream,” Bice said.
