Detroit winner cashes $1m as Powerball jackpot explodes! — here’s what to know
No jackpot winner again — Powerball climbs to $579 million
A Detroit player is celebrating a life-changing win after snagging a $1 million prize in the Powerball drawing held on Saturday, September 5. The winning entry, bought through the Michigan Lottery’s online platform, matched all five white balls drawn — 11, 23, 44, 61, and 62.
While the Detroit ticket didn’t capture the grand jackpot, it still secured a major payout in a drawing that made headlines nationwide. The record-setting $1.787 billion jackpot will be shared between lucky players in Missouri and Texas, who chose the cash option valued at $820.6 million.
This latest win adds to Michigan’s growing history of big lottery moments. Earlier in January 2024, a ticket sold at Food Castle in Grand Blanc delivered the state’s largest Powerball jackpot, an eye-popping $842.4 million.
