A $1 Million Powerball Win: Not the Jackpot, But Still a Major Prize
On April 29, the winner, photographed with her ticket, matched the numbers 3, 19, 35, 51, and 67.
Diana purchased her winning ticket at the Ayerco Convenience Center, situated at the intersection of Highway 34 and Carman Road in Carman. The store will also receive a $10,000 bonus, representing 1% of the prize value.
She was pleased to discuss her win, providing some details on how it unfolded:
“I couldn’t believe it. I picked these numbers randomly,” Diana stated, confirming that while she had won minor prizes previously, this was her first million-dollar win.
Diana described her initial reaction to the win, sharing the news with a friend shortly after discovering it.

Her friend was receptive but clearly somewhat skeptical, responding, “Come on now, quit playing with me — I’m tired.”
Diana also shared her good fortune with the staff at the Ayerco Convenience Center, with whom she has a friendly relationship.
“I’m friends with the staff there, and they were thrilled when they found out I won,” she recalled.
The winner already has plans for her prize, intending to celebrate by fulfilling a long-held dream: flying to Las Vegas to visit her brother, who is serving in the Air Force.
