Shayla Kauflin, 39, from Warren, Michigan, won the grand prize when she matched the five white balls on her Lucky For Life ticket, which she bought online at MichiganLottery.com on Oct. 9.
"This ticket was the very first Lucky For Life ticket I have ever bought," Kauflin told the Michigan Lottery. "When I was purchasing my Powerball tickets online, I saw the Lucky For Life game listed and thought: 'Why not?' and bought $10 worth of tickets."
The following day, Kauflin opened her lottery app and was overwhelmed when she saw that she had won $390,000. She immediately called her husband, David Kauflin, who was initially frightened by her screaming and crying.
"Winning is indescribable," Kauflin share with local lottery officials. "It feels like the weight of the world has been taken off my shoulders. It may not be enough money to change the world, but it's enough money to change my world."
Kauflin visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her $390,000 prize. There she opted for a one-time lump sum payment instead of annuity payments of $25,000 per year for 20 years of life. With her winnings, she plans to take her family to Disney and invest.
