How would you react if you won a Powerball prize? Charlotte Saunders of Ararat said she cried “tears of joy” when she realized she won $50,000 in Saturday’s Powerball drawing.
She bought her $2 Quick Pick ticket at Little Mtn. Cupboard on Little Mountain Church Road in Ararat.
“I’m ecstatic. I feel so blessed!” said Saunders, who works as a master scheduler in the aerospace industry.
She claimed her prize Thursday morning at the Greensboro claim center. She said she plans to use some of the money to pay bills. She’ll invest the rest.
Saunders isn’t the only player to win big in the Powerball this week.
A $2 million Powerball ticket for Wednesday’s night’s drawing was sold at the 3 Point Market & Grill on Goforth Road in Kings Mountain.
Margo Konopacke of Travelers Rest, S.C, also won a $2 million Powerball prize. She bought her ticket on Saturday while she was getting groceries at the Publix on Greenville Highway in Hendersonville.
The next Powerball drawing is Saturday. The current jackpot is $224 million, worth $136.4 million cash.
So good luck!
