Lottery: 3 Ohio tickets win $1 million each in Powerball

Three winners have claimed the $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot.

The other winners’ identities also remain a mystery, but they bought their tickets in Florida and a Los Angeles suburb.

However, it is a big amount of money that the state takes.

Frederick Walker of Sanford saw an abandoned completed play slip and used those numbers in buying the winning ticket, which matched all five numbers with a $1 “power play” multiplier, the lottery said. The Chino Hills 7-Eleven where one of the winning tickets was sold. “I just can’t believe I nearly threw away the ticket”. The store will receive a US$1-million bonus, lottery officials said.

So what should they do with that money?

“So from the run, from November until last night, 28 tickets in Minnesota matched four numbers plus the Powerball to win $50,000”, Hoffman said.

“I’m getting phone calls from friends, emails”, said customer June Stoff. “The hardest winter for me here in 17 years”.

It’s now become a guessing game for people living in the area.

Celebrations erupted in the store on January 13, and TV footage showed hundreds of people, including reporters and onlookers, crowding the store and its adjacent parking lot. A 7-Eleven in Chino Hills, California, will get $1 million.

“It’s exciting to know that somebody from our little city won”, Chino Hills resident Claudia Gonzales told NBC Los Angeles.

For every $1 worth of Powerball sales, half goes to prizes, 40 percent is earmarked for things such as education, and 10 percent goes to retailers who sell the tickets and administrative costs, Grief said. That was one of 73 second-place tickets sold in 23 states.

No details were immediately available about the Florida victor.

“It’s the largest in California history, but everyone’s also calling it the world’s largest jackpot”, said Traverso.

The Powerball numbers for Wednesday were 4, 8, 19, 27, 34 and the Powerball was 10. Last year, it contributed $1.39 billion.

Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
