Regular playing ‘pays off’ in USA Powerball – September 12th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

Playing the USA Powerball on a regular basis has paid dividends for one lucky entrant who has scooped $1 million on the exciting numbers game.

Roger Lightle and his wife Kimberly, from Rosendale, Missouri have come forward with the winning lottery ticket after their lucky numbers were drawn in August, News-Press Now reports.

Missouri Lottery spokesman John Wells revealed the sum increased because the pair paid an extra $1 for the Power Play option, explaining: “By adding Power Play to the ticket, it bumped their prize to $1 million.”

And it seems patience really is a virtue, with Mr Lightle playing the game twice a week in the hope of landing a big windfall.

His dream is now a reality and the huge sum is likely to transform his family’s lives forever – and the prize was increased thanks to the couple being a little more daring in their lotto playing strategy.

The news comes after it was revealed Maryland has claimed its first ever Powerball jackpot win, with the lucky ticket holder walking away with an enormous $108.8 million.
