Debra Newman, from Austin, southern Minnesota is in luck, having claimed a Powerball ticket worth $50,000 just a day before its expiry date! Newman turned up at the Roseville lottery headquarters on Thursday, however had she turned up after 5pm on Friday the 13^th 2017, her ticket's value would have dropped down to $0. Newman says she doesn't usually play the lottery, however her co-workers convinced her to buy a ticket last year when the lottery jackpot soared to an all time high of $1.5 billion. She says the reason she had not claimed the money earlier was because it was a rough year for her and she thought the deadline was definitely February. It was only when she heard on the news that a ticket in Austin was due to expire, that she realised it was hers. The ticket was purchased at The Kwik Trip located at 1201 W. Oakland Av. In Austin, matching 4 of the 5 numbers and the Powerball.
