Metro Detroit Woman Wins $1M Powerball Prize

HAZEL PARK, MI — A Hazel Park woman said she almost fell out of her chair after realizing she won a $1 million Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery.

Alisa Moore, 61, matched the five white balls (08-31-32-42-48) in the Oct. 19 Powerball drawing to win a $1 million prize, according to lottery officials.

She bought the winning ticket at the Kroger store, located at 2200 East 12 Mile Road in Royal Oak, according to lottery officials.

"On my way out of Kroger, I stopped at the Lottery kiosk and bought a Powerball ticket," Moore said. "The next day, I scanned the ticket on the Michigan Lottery app to check it. When $1 million came up on my phone screen, I almost fell out of my chair! I scanned the ticket again, and then a third time because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing."

With her winnings, she plans to pay off her mortgage and then save the remainder, according to lottery officials.
