Powerball player from King Mountain scoop $100K lottery prize

Cerese Feagans of Kings Mountain said she briefly gave up playing Powerball until she saw her $3 Power Play ticket won her a $100,000 Powerball prize.

“I really had decided I was going to stop playing because I just decided I wasn’t lucky,” she said.

“But I guess I was wrong.”

Feagans said she received an email that she needed to claim her prize, but she had no idea how much she won until she checked the number online.

“I was absolutely speechless,” she recalled, “which is pretty funny because I talk so much.” Feagans bought her Quick Pick ticket for the March 18 drawing using Online Play.

She matched numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000.

Her prize doubled to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier hit.

The odds of matching numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball are 1 in 913,129. “I’ve finally stopped pinching myself,” Feagans laughed.
