A man from Bellevue is celebrating after he won $50,000 from a Powerball ticket he purchased at a local 7-Eleven (15521 Bel-Red Rd, Bellevue, WA 98007). “I saw the Powerball Jackpot kept growing and growing, so I knew I had to play,” said the winner.

The winner plans to celebrate his $50,000 Powerball win with a nice anniversary dinner with his wife. The remaining money will go toward paying off his son’s college expenses.

Proceeds from Washington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account, providing grants to college students statewide. To learn more about Washington’s Lottery, its beneficiaries and to review all up-to-date winning numbers, please visit www.walottery.com.
