WYANDOTTE, Mich. (Gray News) – A woman in Michigan turned to artificial intelligence to help her win a big lottery prize.
According to the Michigan Lottery, Tammy Carvey matched four white balls and the Powerball in the Sept. 6 drawing to win a $50,000 prize. That prize was then doubled thanks to Power Play, bringing it up to $100,000.
Carvey said she got the winning numbers from ChatGPT.
“I only play Powerball when the jackpot gets up there and the jackpot was over $1 billion, so I bought a ticket,” she said. “I asked ChatGPT for a set of Powerball numbers and those are the numbers I played on my ticket.”
Carvey said she saw she matched four white balls and the Powerball when she checked the winning numbers. She said she confirmed through Google she had won $50,000.
“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,” she said.
Carvey made a trip to the Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim her prize. She said she plans to use the money to pay off her home and then save what was left over.
