Nancy Silvers has one million reasons to celebrate this week. In Saturday night’s drawing, a Powerball Quick Pick ticket she purchased at Rapid Robert’s in Eureka Springs matched the first five numbers drawn, winning her $1 million. Silvers and her husband, William, didn’t realize they had won until the next morning, when he checked the numbers. “It was a total shock,” she said Monday. “I’m still having a little trouble breathing.” She first celebrated the win with her
husband and her mother before claiming the $1 million. Silvers and her husband, from Berryville, went down to the Arkansas Lottery Claims Center in Little Rock on Monday afternoon to claim her prize. Before the lottery officials gave her the big check, she said there was a security process to verify her identity. Calling the $1 million a “blessing from God,” Silvers said she plans to use the money to pay off debts, donate to her church, Golden Baptist Church in Golden, Mo., and for a few other “little things.” “It’s beyond my wildest dreams,” Silvers said of winning the money.
