Loyal lottery player is a huge Power Play fan, and for a good reason

By Kate Northrop

A Kentucky man who consistently adds the Power Play option to his Powerball lottery tickets has become a first-hand witness to the benefits of the add-on after winning a $150,000 prize.

One Kentucky lottery player will not buy his Powerball tickets without the Power Play option, and now he has a track record to demonstrate why.
