A $3 Powerball ticket just turned into a $100,000 payday for Emerita Lopez Varela from Wingate, thanks to a lucky Power Play. She picked up her ticket at Jack Mart on Wilkes Drive in Charlotte and matched four white balls plus the red Powerball—enough for $50,000, but the Power Play doubled her prize. After taxes, she took home over $72,000. With the next Powerball jackpot at $209 million, are you feeling lucky enough to play? What would you do if you hit it big like Emerita? #News #Charlotte #Powerball
