Michigan Lottery Club Claims $1 Million Powerball Prize Just Before Expiration

Three members of a Michigan lottery club claimed a $1 million Powerball prize just before it expired. They matched all five white balls but missed the Powerball number.
The Rak Pack Lottery Club members plan to use the money for home improvements, paying off student loans, and increasing savings.
The $1 million winning ticket was purchased at a Shell gas station in New Buffalo, Michigan for the $825 million Powerball drawing on Oct. 29.
Gregory Rakowicz, one of the winners, was excited to inform the group but had to wait for delayed responses from the others.
The jackpot now stands at $1.02 billion after a winning ticket in California hit the $1.08 billion prize on July 19.
