Sharon Godsey purchased her Powerball ticket at Carson Market on Village Highway in Concord, using a mix of her favorite numbers. She matched four of the first five numbers plus the Powerball — a combination typically worth $50,000. But thanks to adding Power Play for an extra $1, her prize was doubled to $100,000.
The winning numbers for the March 31 drawing were 12, 41, 44, 52, 64, and Powerball number 25.
