Cristy Davis went from living with her grandmother in Waterford to becoming a multi-millionaire over night…

Cristy matched all of the winning numbers: 14-47-54-55-68 and the Powerball 25 in the Feb. 12 drawing.

She bought the winning ticket at Huron Plaza Liquor, 694 W. Huron St. in Pontiac. “I was at work the next morning when my friend FaceTimed me and asked me if I had checked my ticket because the news was saying the winning ticket was bought at the Huron Plaza Liquor,” Davis said.

Before the big win, Davis was living paycheck-to-paycheck, constantly straining to repair her car, but can now afford any dream car she’d like.

The first thing she did with her winnings is buy a new house to move out of grandma’s. She plans to invest her money so her children and her children’s children will never have to struggle as she did.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
