Ohio Man Wins $1M Powerball Award

Jack Pocket announced that a man in Dayton, Ohio, won $1 million after ordering a $6 ticket on his phone with a jack pocket. The exciting win marks the 30th time in the company's 10-year history that a jackpot user has won more than $1 million in prize money.

The winner, who was originally from Australia and moved to Ohio for work, couldn't believe his eyes when he got a notification on his phone saying, "You won big time!" "I was just scrolling through the email doing a little work, and then I saw a pop-up to check the app," the winner recalled. "I saw 'one million dollars' in that message and I had to read it a few times."

His winning ticket matched all five regular numbers (17, 24, 48, 62, 68) drawn for $546 million in the July 5 draw, missing only the red powerball (23). The number he chose had a "personal meaning" for him and his wife. "To be honest, there wasn't a lot of shouting or hurrah or anything like that," he said of the moment of victory. "It's still a little unrealistic."

He and his wife were excited to play the lottery while Powerball and Mega Millions lived in the U.S., where they surpassed $1 billion three times last year. "We just thought it would be better to buy some tickets and see what happens while we're here for a few years," he said. "We feel very lucky." 바카라사이트 추천
