For Sonya Ingram of Bedford, retirement is anything but slow paced. She enjoys spending her time outdoors gardening, doing yard work and staying busy. She and her husband are also in the middle of restoring a 1969 Ford Torino GT Fastback.

Another part of their retirement routine is playing Hoosier Lottery games, which they say adds a little excitement to their day.

Ingram recently won a $50,000 Powerball® prize with a ticket she purchased at Quick Stop on 16th Street in Bedford, a retailer she says she regularly visits to buy her tickets.

Her favorite Hoosier Lottery games are Draw games, especially Powerball. Over the years, she has won smaller prizes like $50 and $500, but nothing as large as this.

“You go through the years just playing for fun, never thinking you’ll actually win,” Ingram said. “When I realized I had won, it was hard to believe it had really happened.”

After scanning her ticket on the Hoosier Lottery app, Ingram double-checked it several times before bringing it to the retailer to confirm the win. After that, she called the Hoosier Lottery Prize Payment office to verify the win.

“At first, the app just told me to visit the Hoosier Lottery Prize Payment office, she said. “When I called and found out the amount, I screamed. I couldn’t believe it.”

Looking ahead, Ingram plans to place most of the winnings in savings and use a portion to help fund the couple’s restoration of their 1969 Ford Torino GT Fastback.

The winning Powerball numbers for Wednesday, March 11, are: 3-6-55-58-63 with the Powerball of 12. Players can check their tickets with the free Hoosier Lottery Mobile App by downloading here.

Since its first drawing in 1992, Powerball has inspired the country with a chance to become a millionaire, while raising $25 billion for good causes supported by lotteries. Indiana had the very first Powerball jackpot winner in 1992 and leads the nation in Powerball jackpot wins with 39.

The Powerball jackpot for Monday, March 16, is an estimated $88 million.

Powerball® Overall Odds are 1 in 25.
