A Livonia man couldn’t help but scream when he found out he’d won a $150,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery!
Scott Stelow, 58, matched four white balls and the Powerball – 08-23-25-40-53, PB: 05 – in the Sept. 1, 2025, drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $150,000.
He bought his winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
He went right to work
“I occasionally play Powerball and happened to buy a ticket online over Labor Day weekend,” said Stelow. “It was 4:30 a.m. and I was in my car about to head to work after the long holiday weekend when I saw an email from the Lottery.
“I logged into my account and couldn’t help but scream when I saw I’d won $150,000! I still ended up going to work, but didn’t tell anyone except my wife and mom later that day.”
Time for a nice trip
Stelow recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills, take a trip, and save for retirement.
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.
For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Powerball ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $10 million in the nightly Double Play drawing.
