The official Powerball website is telling the story of one lucky millionaire. Homer, Nebraska's Patricia Krontz recently won $1 million. The Powerball website shares her tale of victory:

"Krontz is a regular Powerball player who purchases tickets every week. For the Saturday, October 26 drawing, she purchased a quick pick Powerball ticket at J & J's Pronto, 108 North Highway 77 in Homer. Krontz wasted no time claiming her prize, arriving at Nebraska Lottery headquarters on Monday afternoon following the drawing. She told Nebraska Lottery officials that she learned she had won after a friend informed her that a winning ticket had been sold in Homer. 'When I heard that, I thought, 'I should go check my tickets,' said Krontz. 'So I went back to the store and checked them. I couldn't believe that I'd won.' She plans to pay bills using her winnings."

The Powerball website also urges gamers to play responsibly:

“Lottery games are just that--games. Lottery games are designed to be enjoyable entertainment for adults, and for the vast majority of lottery players, that's exactly what they are. Multi-State Lottery members sell lottery tickets for the benefits of their citizens, raising millions of dollars for worthy causes and projects. The Multi-State Lottery Association encourages all lottery players to be responsible in their amount of play. Never spend more than you can afford on any lottery product. Please remember, it's just a game.”
