Michigan Friends’ unbelievable Luck: Win not one, but two Prizes in Same Powerball Drawing
In an incredible streak of dizzying luck, two friends in Michigan have won not just one, but two prizes in the same Powerball drawing. The first prize, which was a whopping $100,000, was won by Amanda Hill and her friend Mary Dettloff. But wait, there’s more! In the same drawing, Hill also managed to take home a second prize, scoring another $50,000. Spoiler alert: This isn’t the part where we remind you that lottery winnings aren’t taxable!
Speaking after basking in the afterglow of their life-changing wins, Hill said, “We are really lucky, we’ve been talking about winning the Lottery for as long as I can remember. It’s like a dream come true!”. Yes, Amanda, we bet it is! We’re sure that it must have taken a lot of effort to sit on a couch and watch those numbers roll in. It’s really a testament to the terrier-like winning spirit that you exude, because everyone knows that good things come to those who sit around waiting for them.
The money will be used for “what’s important,” according to the two ladies. Let us make a guess – probably not for their kids’ college education or anything else that could be considered remotely sensible. Perhaps it’ll go toward that trip to Vegas they’ve been dreaming about, or maybe a shopping spree at Rodeo Drive?
Let’s be real, these lucky ladies know how to milk their time in the sun. Besides, we all know that when it comes to budgeting, sometimes it’s better to spend all your money on what’s important in the short-term, instead of saving for the long-term. We can only hope that Hill and Dettloff have the extreme savvy of the likes of Warren Buffet at managing their newfound riches.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Kroger store in Waterford, Michigan. We can only assume that this small grocery store has magically achieved the status of the world’s happiest store, now that it was the location where Hill and Dettloff’s ball-crazed dreams came true.
For those still holding out for their golden ticket, keep playing. Because if it worked for these ladies, it can work for anyone! Of course, the jackpot is really only a fun trip to the mall, a nice dinner out, and a chance to complain about being rich, anyway.
At the end of the day, let’s just all take a moment to salute Hill and Dettloff, two women who literally sat on a couch and won two prizes in one Powerball lottery. We can all learn from their dedication and persistence, and who knows? Maybe our moment in the sun is just around the corner, too.
