GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A mid-Michigan couple and a lawyer from the west side of the state have been announced as winners of an $842.4 million Powerball lottery jackpot from a ticket purchased on New Year’s Day. Michigan Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli told reporters Tuesday that the Breakfast Club lottery club opted for a cash lump sum of $305 million after taxes. The winning ticket was purchased at a convenience store in Grand Blanc Township near Flint. Speaking on behalf of the Breakfast Club, member and attorney Mark Harder said the middle-aged couple has “been elated and overwhelmed, thrilled and nervous” since realizing their ticket was the winner. Harder didn’t indicate what he would do with his own winnings.
