Michigan couple and lawyer claim $842.4 million Powerball jackpot

A mid-Michigan couple and a lawyer from the west side of the state won an $842.4 million Powerball lottery jackpot from a ticket purchased on New Year's Day. The winners opted for a cash lump sum of $305 million after taxes. The winning numbers were 12, 21, 42, 44, 49, and red Powerball: 1. The couple, whose names were not revealed, expressed gratitude for the life-changing prize, planning to share the winnings with family and donate to charities. The store that sold the winning ticket will receive $50,000 in commission and plans to donate the entire amount to employees and charities. The winners are part of a group called The Breakfast Club and are recipients of the sixth-largest Powerball prize ever won.
