A Missouri Lottery player won a $50,000 Powerball prize in the April 16 drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at American Legion 639, 2660 S. Scenic Ave., in Springfield.
 
The winner found himself in a state of disbelief after checking his ticket at a local store and finding out he’d won $50,000. 

“I didn’t believe it,” he shared. 

The winning numbers on April 16 were 15, 21, 32, 62 and 65, and the Powerball number was 26. The winning ticket matched four out of five white-ball numbers drawn, as well as the Powerball number.
