Retired Fort Wayne man enjoys $50,000 Powerball^® win

John Bell from Fort Wayne matched four-out-of-five numbers and the Powerball for a $50,000 Powerball^® win. 

Now retired, John plays Draw games like Powerball® based on how high the jackpots are and if he feels interested in playing. His largest win to-date had been $500. He spends his money carefully. On this day he purchased $60 worth of tickets. He typically chooses his own numbers, but this time he decided to play using Quick Pick. He checked his ticket using the Hoosier Lottery App, and quickly became very happy with the results he saw.  

The only people he immediately shared the news with were his two best friends. With the prize money, he plans to pay off his recently purchased new car.
