Michigan Woman Wins $100,000 Lottery Prize

Jami Hawkins, a 42-year-old woman from Port Huron, Michigan, won $100,000 in a second chance drawing held by the Michigan Lottery after scanning non-winning $300,000,000 Extraordinaire tickets through the lottery's app. Initially believing the winning notification was a scam, Hawkins confirmed her win with lottery officials and expressed her excitement about the prize. She plans to use her winnings for a tropical vacation. The drawing took place on September 10, and there are more second chance drawings planned, with opportunities to win additional $100,000 prizes. Meanwhile, in North Carolina, Tammy Pope won $100,000 from a $3 Powerball ticket, matching several numbers in the October 5 drawing, ultimately taking home $71,501 after taxes. The Powerball jackpot currently stands at $388 million.
