A man from Maryland, USA who won $50,000 on the Powerball on a night when a $430 million prize was on offer has revealed he is satisfied with his win.The lucky winner, from Howard County in Maryland, told lottery officials that he had a true feeling of self-satisfaction as he collected his Powerball prize worth $50,000. The 61-year-old retiree is a regular Powerball player, and he would have bought his ticket for the October 20^th drawing no matter the size of the top prize. Another loyal Powerball player from Maryland also found his loyalty paid off when he won $50,000 on this American lottery earlier this autumn.There was growing excitement for the October 20^th drawing because of the size of the jackpot, but the Powerball player buys tickets regularly just in case his luck comes up.
