GRAND ISLAND MAN WINS $200,000 PLAYING POWERBALL
June 24, 2008
David Kokenge of Grand Island recently won $200,000 playing Powerball from the Nebraska Lottery.
There were more than 14,000 Nebraska Lottery Lotto winners in the Wednesday, June 18, drawings. Among these winners was Kokenge, who purchased a four-play quick pick Powerball ticket for the June 18 draw at Skagway, 1607 South Locust Street in Grand Island. One play on the ticket contained all five of the winning white ball numbers (09, 12, 31, 39, 52) for a corresponding prize of $200,000.
While claiming his prize on June 20, Kokenge told Nebraska Lottery officials that he learned of his win after returning to Skagway and using the customer Check a Ticket machine. When the Check a Ticket reported that he had a winning ticket, Kokenge then had a clerk scan the ticket to verify his prize amount. He stated that he was “shocked” and that he “didn’t believe it” when the clerk told him he had won $200,000. Kokenge plans to pay bills and possibly take a trip to California using his winnings.
Thirty-five Nebraska Lottery players have won the $200,000 prize in Powerball to date. The odds of winning $200,000 playing Powerball are 1 in 3,563,609 while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 36.61.
