About the Win
"I bought the ticket on my last trip to visit her," explained Placencio, age 38. "And now I'm claiming the prize on this trip to see her and my new granddaughter."
Placencio purchased her ticket from Jiffy Mart on Pumpkin Center Road in Hammond. She said she plans to use her winnings for Christmas shopping and paying bills.
Her ticket matched four of the five white ball numbers drawn and the red Powerball number. The Powerball numbers for the Sept. 24 drawing were 5-13-21-32-36 and the Powerball was 33.
