I shared earlier this week that someone at Gun Lake Casino in Wayland, Michigan won $308,000 after flopping a royal flush playing poker.

There was also a 69-year-old Michigan woman who played the same Lotto 47 numbers every time finally winning a $1.2 million jackpot.

Now we're hearing about a Clinton County woman who just won $150,000 playing Powerball.

According to the Michigan Lottery, Diana Gaudard, of DeWitt, bought a winning Powerball ticket online and matched four white balls and the Powerball – 17-18-30-50-68, PB: 24 – in the March 7 drawing to win a $50,000 prize.

Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $150,000.

On a recent trip to Lottery Headquarters in Lansing, she shared about how she thought her big win might have been a scam.

“I have two special sets of numbers I play whenever I buy Powerball tickets, so I played those, plus I bought two easy pick tickets. I logged into my Lottery account to do my daily Spin to Win which is when I saw $150,000 pending in my account. I told my husband that my Lottery account showed a big win, but not to get excited because it had to be some sort of hoax. I’m used to winning a few dollars here and there, so I didn’t think there was any way I’d actually won $150,000. Shortly after, I found out I’d won the prize on one of my easy pick tickets and it’s felt like I’m living in a dream ever since!”

Gaudard will use her winnings to pay off her car and save the rest.

This lucky lady 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.
