A Wyandotte woman won a $100,000 Powerball prize from the Michigan Lottery after using numbers generated by ChatGPT.
Tammy Carvey, 45, matched four white balls and the Powerball – 11-23-44-61-62 PB: 17 – in the September 6 drawing. Her ticket, purchased online at MichiganLottery.com, initially won $50,000, but the prize was doubled to $100,000 thanks to the Power Play option.
“I only play Powerball when the jackpot gets up there, and the jackpot was over $1 billion, so I bought a ticket,” Carvey explained. “I asked ChatGPT for a set of Powerball numbers, and those are the numbers I played.”
After the drawing, Carvey checked the winning numbers and realized she had matched several. “Google told me it was a $50,000 prize, so that’s what I thought I’d won,” she said. “It wasn’t until I logged into my Michigan Lottery account that I realized I added the Power Play to my ticket and actually won $100,000! My husband and I were in total disbelief.”
Carvey recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She plans to use the winnings to pay off her home and save the rest.
