Michigan’s Million-Dollar Powerball Win
A lucky individual in Van Buren County, Michigan, is celebrating a life-changing win after purchasing a $1 million Powerball ticket. The winning ticket, which matched all five white numbers drawn—2, 23, 36, 44, and 49—was bought at the Big T Restaurant located at 155 Main St. in Lawton, Michigan. The winner has one year from the drawing date to claim their prize by contacting the Michigan Lottery’s Player Relations. This win comes as no one claimed the Powerball jackpot, which means the next jackpot on March 3 will be worth $279 million. Players are reminded to check their tickets immediately, as a previous $1 million Mega Millions prize went unclaimed in Southfield in 2023, with those funds going to the state’s School Aid Fund.
Powerball Jackpot Continues to Grow
The Powerball lottery jackpot remains unclaimed as no one matched all six numbers in the recent drawing. The estimated jackpot for the Saturday, March 1, 2025, Powerball drawing was $272 million with a cash option of $128.2 million. The winning numbers for the Saturday night drawing were 2, 23, 36, 44, 49, and the Powerball was 25. The Power Play multiplier was 3X. Although no ticket matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, a ticket purchased in Michigan matched all five numbers except for the Powerball, earning the holder a $1 million prize. The next estimated jackpot for Monday, March 3rd, is $279 million with a cash option of $131.5 million.

Responsible Lottery Participation
While the thrill of winning a lottery can be exhilarating, it is crucial for participants to engage responsibly. Lotteries are designed as entertainment activities rather than financial investments. Participants are encouraged to fix a budget to avoid overspending and to be aware of the potential dangers of gaming. In Michigan, support is available for those with gambling problems through hotlines or by visiting the Michigan Gaming Control Board’s website. Similarly, in Assam, participants are advised to treat the lottery as a form of entertainment and to play responsibly.
Conclusion
The recent lottery wins across the globe highlight the excitement and life-changing potential of these games. From Michigan to Limerick, and Kerala to Bodoland, individuals are experiencing newfound fortunes. However, it is essential to remember the importance of responsible participation in these games. As jackpots continue to grow and more winners emerge, the allure of the lottery remains strong, offering hope and dreams to many.
