Norfolk woman wins $150K Powerball prize with lucky online ticket
NORFOLK, VA – A Norfolk woman scored a six-figure Powerball prize after matching four white balls and the red Powerball in the September 1 drawing—tripling her win to $150,000 thanks to a wise $1 add-on for Power Play.
Kimberly Plummer purchased her winning ticket online and didn’t realize right away that she had matched four of the first five numbers plus the Powerball, a combination that normally pays out $50,000. Because she added Power Play to her purchase, her prize automatically tripled to $150,000.
The winning numbers for the drawing were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, and the Powerball number 5. She has not announced any immediate plans for her prize money.
Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, while the overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are 1 in 25.
