Do you play the lottery faithfully every week? Do you ever get people telling you that you're wasting your time and money? Don't you just hate that?
David Stephens, of Topeka, Kansas, describes himself as a faithful lottery player. He plays all the time. He also had people telling him that he's wasting his time and money. But he showed them. David won $200,000 in Powerball by matching the five white ball numbers on October 31, 2009. In your face doubters!
When David Stephens checked his ticket on the self-check machine, all it said was to sign the back of the ticket. It didn't say how much he won. So he brought the ticket to the clerk and she checked it herself. After she checked it, she just looked at him and told him that she didn't know how much he had won, but it must be big. So David went back to his car and checked the ticket on his cell phone. That's when he found out that he had won $200,000!
The win came at a perfect time for the faithful lottery player. He was just about to start a new job which required him to move to Joplin, Missouri. The move and the new job had him worrying about his finances. With the $200,000 Powerball win, he was able to relax. He said he would use the money to pay off some bills and save the rest.
Congratulations to David Stephens on his lucky win!
