Time was on Elizabeth Johnson’s side when she hit the $2 million prize in Saturday’s Powerball drawing.
Johnson was trying to purchase tickets for Wednesday’s drawing but missed the cutoff by one minute.
The Power Play ticket she bought online was instead eligible for Saturday’s drawing and made Johnson a winner when she matched all five white balls to win $1 million.
Her prize was raised to $2 million when the 2x multiplier ball was drawn.
According to WITN, Johnson ended up claiming $1,415,001 after federal and state tax withholdings. She plans to buy a house and go on vacation with her winnings.
