"I like to play Powerball when the jackpot gets large," Bayham said. "I’ve never played the Power Play option, but I decided to add it to my ticket at the last minute. I checked the winning numbers before I went to bed, and I thought I’d won $200 at first. When I logged in to my Lottery account and saw $100,000 pending, I was shocked!"
Bayham bought the winning ticket online. She plans to invest her money and travel.
