Winning $151M Powerball lottery ticket sold in Rhode Island
Winning $151M Powerball lottery ticket sold in Rhode IslandPosted: 11/29/2007 11:35:16 AM  One lucky person from Rhode Island is holding the winning ticket from last night's $151 million Powerball drawing. Lottery officials aren't sure who the lucky winner is yet. Donald J. Cataldi, a sales manager for the Rhode Island Lottery, confirmed that the winning ticket had been sold at Warren Mart on Child Street. "Someone's going to have one heck of a Christmas," Mr. Cataldi said. "Rhode Island players have been lucky lately. We had a million dollar player a month ago." Tony Elhajj, the store's owner for the past two and a half years, said his store has had a bit of a lucky streak lately, and expects business to pick up as a result. Just last week, they sold a $200,000 Powerball ticket. "Good luck to the guy who won it," Mr. Elhajj said.
The winning ticket matched all six numbers drawn, which were: 8, 23, 32, 37 and 39. The Powerball number was 38. A lottery spokeswoman says the winner can collect $151.9 million in installments over 29 years or receive just over $75 million in a lump sum. Tickets that match the first five numbers but miss the Powerball win $200,000 each. There were five of those, including one in Rhode Island. Source: Lottery Post Staff
