A Michigan lottery club just won $200,000 from a recent Powerball ticket purchase.

26-year-old Bill Miller and his uncle, 60-year-old Kevin Edmond Miller are the two members of the Bill Miller lottery club.

They were able to match four white balls and the Powerball – 23-35-59-63-68, PB: 02 – in the Dec. 15 drawing to win a $50,000 prize.

And thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $200,000.

Bill Miller recently paid a visit to the Michigan Lottery Headquarters in Lansing to cash in the winning ticket.

He shared how he found out that he had a winning ticket.

“I work nights, so the night of the drawing I was awake and checked the ticket around 3 a.m. As I was looking the ticket over and realizing what we had won, I went numb. I checked the ticket a few more times and just sat and waited for my aunt and uncle to wake up not believing what had happened was real.”

This lucky Michigan man isn't the only one to win big recently playing the Michigan Lottery.

A Grand Blanc lottery club won a million dollars playing the Powerball.

A Kent County woman who went out to get some late-night food stopped at a gas station and ended up buying a winning ticket worth a million dollars.
