'My Whole Body Went Numb': MI Man Wins $1M Powerball Prize

FLINT, MI — A Flint man said his body went numb after finding out he won a $1 million Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery, according to lottery officials.

Jackie McCloud, 55, matched the five white balls (07-41-43-44-51) in the May 8 drawing to win the big prize, according to lottery officials.

McCloud bought the winning ticket at the Forward Pinconning Marathon, located at 511 South Mable Street in Pinconning. Pinconning is about 30 miles north of Saginaw, according to lottery officials.

"I scanned my Powerball ticket at a store to check it and got a message to see the retailer," McCloud told lottery officials. "I thought something was wrong with the scanner, so I took it to a different retailer. The worker looked the ticket over and told me I’d won big, but I still didn’t know how much."

"I took my ticket to the Michigan Lottery office and that’s when I found out it was worth $1 million! My whole body went numb," he added.

With his winnings, he plans to travel and then save the remainder, according to lottery officials.

Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com.

The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://www.powerball.com.
