OKLAHOMA CITY – Eusebio Covarrubias Perez of Stillwater has claimed his winning Powerball ticket worth $40,000. He purchased his winning ticket at Country Convenience, 5808 E. 6th, in Stillwater.

Perez matched four white balls and the Powerball to win $10,000. He won an extra $30,000 by selecting the Power Play option for an extra dollar.

Perez usually plays the Lottery a few times a week and plans to share the money with his family.

“My company uses Country Convenience to purchase fuel, so I’m there often,” he said. “When I had them check my ticket they told me I was a big winner and I didn’t believe it.”

Perez adds, “I’m very happy about winning and feel good about the Lottery supporting education.”
