PENSACOLA, Florida – The Florida Lottery announced that Michele Story, 61, of Orange Beach, claimed a $2 million prize from the POWERBALL drawing held on October 31, 2022, at the Lottery’s Pensacola District Office.
The winning POWERBALL with Power Play Quick-Pick ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers but did not match the Power Ball number.
The Baldwin County woman purchased her $2 million-winning POWERBALL with Power Play Quick Pick ticket from Flora Bama Liquor, located at 17395 Perdido Key Drive in Pensacola.
The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.
The odds of winning the POWERBALL jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.
All POWERBALL prizes are set payouts, except the jackpot. The jackpot prize will be shared among winners in all POWERBALL states.
The jackpot will be paid in 30 annual payments or a one-time cash payment of a reduced amount. If there is no jackpot winner, the money in the jackpot pool rolls over to the next POWERBALL drawing.
Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
Powerball tickets cost $2 per each.
