ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — While someone in Arkansas won the $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot on Christmas Eve, a person who purchased a ticket in the Cincinnati area also got a pretty penny after winning $1 million.
The winning numbers in Wednesday's Christmas Eve drawing were 4-25-31-52-59 with a Powerball of 19 and a Power Play multiplier of 2. The lucky single jackpot winner got to choose between the annuitized grand prize or a one-time pre-tax payment of $834.9 million.
But there were still eight other tickets sold that matched the five white balls — including one right here in the Tri-State.
The Ohio Lottery announced a winning $1 million ticket was sold at the Anderson Township Kroger location on Beechmont Avenue. The winner will receive $728,750 after state and federal taxes; talk about a happy holiday!
