(WWJ) A couple of metro Detroit seniors are celebrating a life-changing win playing the lottery.
According to Michigan Lottery officials, 78-year-old Boris Cvetkovski of Dearborn matched all five white balls – 04-19-23-25-49 – in the Jan. 13 Powerball drawing to win a $1 million prize.
He bought his winning ticket at Food Max Market, a grocery store located at 27333 Cherry Hill Road in Inkster.
“When my wife and I checked my ticket we went crazy,” said Cvetkovski. “We can’t wait to share the good fortune with our family.”
Cvetkovski, who visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize, says he plans to share his winnings with his family.
Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1.
