The US Powerball lottery officials are back with an exciting announcement about a lucky couple from New Hampton. According to the lottery officials, the couple is extremely fortunate to have won the second highest-tiered prize money from the US Powerball.
The officials have revealed that the next tier after the particular one is the jackpot prize money. This is quite remarkable for the New Hampton couple as they will have so much to plan and so much to do with the money they have won.
The lottery officials are extremely excited about the player and even more excited about how they fulfill their dreams with the money they have won.
According to the lottery officials, the name of the winner is Karla Elenz who alongside her husband Keith Elenz won prize money worth $2,000,000. For Karla, it was a dream come true when she checked her ticket and realized she had won $2,000,000.
Surprisingly, she had forgotten about checking her ticket in the first place. It was an email rotated for all the employees in the company that reminded her that she had a ticket to check for the US Powerball.
Karla revealed that she and her husband, both had purchased lottery tickets for the US Powerball game. The last draw they participated in and won the prize money was held on Monday, January 10, 2021.
Karla revealed that while choosing the numbers on the ticket, she went for the manual pick. On the other hand, her husband went for the Quick Pick option. Surprisingly, the numbers she chose ended up winning her $2,000,000 while the numbers her husband choose won nothing.
She was extremely happy that someone out of the two ended up winning huge prize money. Karla revealed that she and her husband work at the same company that manufactures auto parts.
It was on Thursday when their employer sent an internal email to all the employees talking about the lottery prize win. In the email, the employer was very excited stating that there are high chances someone from their company might have won the prize.
This is when both Karla and Keith went to their car to check the numbers on their tickets and see if they had won something. Surprisingly, Karla had matched 5 primary numbers and not the Powerball number to win the $1,000,000. But then her Power Play 2X multiplier kicked in, winning her $2,000,000.
The couple purchased their tickets from Casey’s, which is located at 615 North Linn Avenue, New Hampton. Jackpot prize winning numbers for the particular draw were 27-21-18-17-14 and the Powerball number was 9. The couple revealed that they are going to open up their own shop for auto parts and open up a new chapter of their life.
