Martin man claims $200,000 Powerball prize
from Wednesday’s drawing
(Pierre) – Ronald
Dailey, Jr. is the state’s latest Powerball winner, matching five numbers
but not the Powerball number. He claimed his $200,000 prize at the
Lottery Redemption Center in
Pierre today.
Dailey found out he won
the prize from his dad Ronald Dailey, Sr., who came to his son’s tire
business and gave him two thumbs up. “My co-worker asked if I’d still come
to work,” Dailey, Jr. said. “I told him if I’d gotten one more number right,
I’d be handing him the keys to my tool box.”
Daily purchased his
ticket – a quick pick – at the KJ’s Pit Stop in Martin. The store will
receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. He is the fifth
South Dakota player to win the $200,000 prize. Matching five numbers paid
$100,000 until the game changed a year ago.
