“I like to play Powerball when the jackpot gets large,” said Bayham. “I’ve never played the Power Play option, but I decided to add it to my ticket at the last minute.

I checked the winning numbers before I went to bed, and I thought I’d won $200 at first. When I logged in to my Lottery account and saw $100,000 pending, I was shocked!” Bayham recently visited the lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans on using her winnings to travel and invest. The winning numbers will be drawn.
