“I play Powerball regularly and always check my tickets at the store,” said Nelams. “The message said to file a claim, so I went to the Lottery office in Livonia. It wasn’t until I had the Lottery office scan the tickets that I knew I had won $150,000! It was an indescribable feeling!”
Nelams visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to buy a new home.
