WHITE LAKE, Mich. – A South Haven lottery club got a life-changing surprise when they found out they’d won a $100,000 Powerball prize weeks after the drawing!
The two-person IDK J&H lottery club matched four white balls and the Powerball – 14-16-42-48-64, PB: 14 – in the Oct. 14 drawing to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $100,000. They bought the winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.

“Me and my boyfriend have been playing the Lottery together for about a year,” said the club’s representative, Haley Honcharenko. “We were sitting at home one night and decided to buy a few tickets online. We had forgotten all about the tickets, so we didn’t realize we’d won until weeks later.
“We were at the bar, and I logged in to my account to see if I had any Lottery coupons. When I saw my balance was $100,000, I didn’t believe it was real at first. I started the claims process just to see what would happen, and that’s when I knew we had really won!”
The lottery club visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim their prize. They plan to save their winnings.
