Someone In My Family May Have Won $824.4M
Even thought I live in St. Petersburg I was born and raised in Michigan. With that being said someone in Michigan just Hit the Powerball and someone in my family may have won $824.4M. I say that because the winning ticket was purchased in Grand Blanc, Michigan and I have several relatives who live in that area.
Someone In Michigan Hit The Powerball
The winning Powerball ticket was purchased Monday night at the Food Castle located in Grand Blanc. Grand Blanc is located near Flint. The winning numbers were 12-21-42-44-49 and the Powerball 01. This particular jackpot is the 5th largest in Powerball history and the 10th largest jackpot ever sold in the history of the lottery.
Sadly, you cannot remain anonymous in Michigan when you hit the lottery. What’s great thought is that you can claim your prize under a trust. That way your identity wont be revealed. I think that’s a very smart thing to do. Im sure the person who is won is currently getting their affairs in order. Hiring lawyer, moving kids out of school etc.
I wonder If Im Related To The Powerball Winner?
As I stated earlier, I may be related to the person who hits the Powerball. Sadly I may never know because all of my family members that live in Grand Blanc rarely speak to me. It’s no beef or animosity its just I have not seen or spoken to any of them since I was younger. It would be delusional of me to think they would give me a cut of the money if they are the big winners.
Speaking of winning the lottery, who is the first person you would call? feel free to email me Babs@wild941.com. I would probably tell my mom and that’s it! You have to be careful about who you reveal information like that to!
Ill keep you updated if I am related to the Powerball Winner!

Gifting Lottery Tickets This Holiday Season?
I love receiving scratch-off tickets as Christmas gifts. At my old job that’s what we would get each other. The most I’ve ever won was $100. It’s not the thousands and millions that people win, but it’s still $100 more than what I had. If you plan on buying scratch off tickets for people for Christmas, check the Florida Lottery website first.
I say check the Florida lottery website, because that is where you can find lottery tickets that still have remaining top prizes available. Some tickets don’t have remaining prizes, so those maybe the ones that you avoid.
Tis the season and a lot of us could use some extra cash. Just because you purchase at lottery ticket at the stores below, does not mean you are guaranteed to win. However below are the Tampa Bay area stores that have sold the most winning Powerball tickets.
Happy Holidays
