Martinsville Couple Hits $200,000

Sondra and Mike Stout have been playing the same Powerball® numbers for years. Their consistency paid off when they matched 5 of 5 numbers, but not the Powerball, to win $200,000. These parents of 3 girls are excited for the big boost in their future plans. "We had a 'fantasy' plan in case we ever won, but I think we're going to be paying off our mortage and a few hospital bills. The rest will go into accounts for our kids' education", said Mike. Sondra, who was tired of waiting on checking the numbers said, "Mike told me we won and I just couldn't believe it. I just started shaking and crying so hard I forgot about breakfast and burned the gravy." The Stouts are looking forward to less overtime at work and more family vacations.
