A bartender in Missouri won $50,000 off of a Powerball ticket, which she had been given as a tip from a regular customer.
A bartender in Missouri was surprised when she learned that her bar had sold the winning $50,000 Powerball ticket — but then she checked a ticket she had received as a tip on Oct. 18, and realized she was the winner.
"It's just something nice he does for us," Russey told the New York Post in an interview on Wednesday.On Oct. 19, the following day, Bleacher's Bar’s Lottery terminal alerted the staff that a winning $50,000 ticket was sold at the establishment. Then she remembered the tip from the night before and scanned it at the bar's lottery terminal. Russey's ticket numbers matched four of the five white-ball numbers, plus the Powerball. The terminal informed her she would have to claim her prize at a Lottery office, as it was worth so much.
Russey does not plan to spend the money on anything extravagant, but instead is going to use it to get dental work done. She also has no plans to quit her job at Bleacher's Bar.
