Powerball winner pays for new roof with $50,000 prize

A Howell County couple is planning home repairs after claiming a $50,000 Powerball prize, according to a release from the Missouri Lottery. Their winning ticket was purchased at Casey's, located at 513 N. Elm St., in Mountain View, for the September 5 drawing.

 

"We had been holding on to that ticket for over a month before checking it," one of the winners laughed. "Now we're going to get a new roof on the house."

 

The winning ticket matched four of the five white-ball numbers, as well as the Powerball number, in the Sept. 5 drawing. The winning numbers were 15, 40, 47, 53 and 59, and the Powerball number was 9.

 

In FY26, players in Howell County won more than $8.3 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $685,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $795,000 in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
