STORY: A 50-year-old Michigan grandmother won last week’s $310.5 million Powerball jackpot, the Michigan Lottery announced on Tuesday (October 6).<\/p>\n
Julie Leach, from Three Rivers in southwestern Michigan, realized she had become a sudden millionaire while waiting for lunch at McDonald’s.<\/p>\n
\u00abI was having a bad night at work. I went to McDonald’s for lunch and thought, well I might as well check my numbers while I’m sitting here waiting for my lunch and that’s when I realized I was a winner. Didn’t believe it. I had to go back to work and get verified from a couple of other co-workers and just couldn’t believe it,\u00bb Leach told reporters in Lansing on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Leach said she planned to take the jackpot as a lump sum, which would amount to about $197.4 million. She said she quit her \u00abnasty, dirty\u00bb job after her lottery windfall and planned use the winnings to provide for her children.<\/p>\n
\u00abI’m gonna take care of my kids. I don’t want them to have to work like I had to work and deal with the kind of things that I had to deal with over life.\u00bb Leach said in a press conference, adding she has called people for advice and believes she has a \u00abgood team\u00bb in place to figure out how to handle the money.<\/p>\n
The drawing was on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n
The lucky numbers were 21, 39, 40, 55, 59, 17. Leach bought the ticket at the Three Rivers West Shell gas station, located about 30 miles south of Kalamazoo.<\/p>\n
Wednesday’s win was the third time a Michigan player has won the Powerball jackpot since the state began offering the game.
