Missouri winner

She had quickly forgotten about the ticket and found it when she went to check a different ticket for the Powerball lottery. The lucky winner is now planning to use her prize to pay off her student debt.
Powerball lottery draws are conducted every week, on Monday, Wednesday and then Saturday and players have to match all six numbers drawn in order to land the jackpot.
