RUPERT RESIDENT CLAIMS $30,000 POWERPLAY PRIZE; MORGANTOWN RESIDENT CLAIMS $25,000 CASH25 PRIZE
May 7, 2008
Within hours of each other, Melissa Jones, 39, of Rupert, claimed a $30,000 Powerball prize from the May 3 drawing and Misty Watson, 29, of Morgantown, claimed a $25,000 top prize from the Cash25 drawing held May 1, according to Lottery Director John Musgrave.
Musgrave said Jones won $10,000 by matching four numbers plus the Powerball, but the amount was tripled after the 3-ball multiplier was drawn. Fortunately, Jones paid $1 extra for the PowerPlay option when buying her ticket from Handy Place in Rupert.
Jones, a cook at Lewisburg Elementary School, said that getting the $30,000 prize was like hitting the jackpot. She has two teenaged children and is a graduate of Greenbrier West High School.
Watson said she purchased her winning “Cash25” ticket at Sheetz #349 in Morgantown. “I chose my own numbers, but they were picked at random.” Married, Watson said she is a homemaker caring for their young son. “This prize will help us get caught up with bills.”
