Okay, here’s a rewrite with a more human and engaging tone:
Headline: Woman Asks ChatGPT for Lottery Numbers, Actually Wins $100,000!
Body:
Talk about lucky! Tammy Carvey, a 45-year-old woman from Wyandotte, Michigan, decided to try a rather unconventional method for picking her lottery numbers – she asked ChatGPT!
With the Powerball jackpot soaring past $1 billion back in September, Tammy figured she’d take a chance. “I only play when it gets that high,” she explained to Michigan Lottery officials. Instead of picking her usual numbers, she decided to get a little help from the AI chatbot. “I asked ChatGPT for a set of Powerball numbers, and those are the ones I played,” she said.
And guess what? It worked! Her ticket matched four of the white balls and the Powerball in the September 6th drawing. Initially, Tammy thought she’d won $50,000, which is already amazing! But then, she logged into her Michigan Lottery account and discovered she’d added the Power Play option. That doubled her winnings to a whopping $100,000!
“My husband and I were in total disbelief,” Tammy shared.
So, what does she plan to do with her newfound fortune? Tammy says she’s going to pay off her home and give her savings a nice boost. Not a bad return on investment for a little AI-assisted luck!
