Although he lives in Ohio, Henry Barron’s work as a subcontractor occasionally takes him to Indiana for work. Currently, he’s working on a large project in Fort Wayne.

When a co-worker asked Henry to give him a ride to purchase Powerball® tickets, Henry was happy to oblige. Once they arrived at the gas station, Henry noticed that the Powerball jackpot was over $1 billion and decided to purchase a ticket, adding Double Play® to it.

The night of the drawing, Henry woke up just after midnight and grabbed his phone to check his numbers. He couldn’t believe it when he saw he matched all but one number to win $50,000!

Henry plans to use his winnings to purchase a new car and help out his mom. After that, he’ll check off a bucket list item—a trip to Africa.
