Ohioans were winning PB jackpots long before PB tickets were available in Ohio. Remember the machinists (lucky 13) from Columbus a few years back and the GM worker from Dayton a couple of years back. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that they would continue to win once PB tickets became available locally. Ohioans have alway bought a lot PB tickets which is the reason Ohioans have won PB jackpots. Now that tickets are available locally, they will be buying even more and winning more.... [ More ]

I hope that's how it works, that way Texas will win the Powerball shortly. We've had it for about 4 months now, hopefully they choose my numbers to win.

Congratulations to the winner(s) though, maybe tomorrow I can be as lucky.

Yes, I took rte 42 almost the whole way. 2 days up and 2 days back. I stayed in Cleveland a week to visit family.

RJOh,

Hope you get a big win in your future.

Congrats to the big winner. It would be so cool to have a LP member win but I suppose many of the ones from OH would know to claim anonymously.

I rode a 3 spd bicycle from Cincy to Cleveland and back. I had to walk one hill in each direction. On the way up that hill was in Mansfield (Rte 42).

I hope this jackpot will enrich many lives. That said, I live in SW Ohio. I am happy it was Ohio. We need the money. People tell me it is stupid to play the lottery but you have to have one ticket to win. I wish I had won a big jackpot when my brother and mother needed a bone marrow transplant and liver transplant at the same time. I didn't have enough money for the transplants and I lost them both. I went bankrupt paying medical bills. I have type 1 diabetes, MS, hepatitis B and a few other pro... [ More ]

Congratulations to the winner in Ohio who won $261.6 million. We must always be happy for those who won any amount in the lottery. I say this because we don't know the struggles they've been through. Personally I don't believe in such thing as luck. However I do believe in perfect timing. In other words people when it's your time to win then that moment will happen to you when least expected. Think about it do you honestly believe the winner in Ohio was lucky to won that much money. I absolutely... [ More ]

I'm from mid-Ohio not central Ohio. Mid-Ohio area is up near Mansfield, home of the Mid-Ohio race track. Besides, all the combinations I pick to play have at least one WB number from the previous 13 drawings, that will no longer be true about my future picks.

Lottery jackpot won in OH... Congrats to the winner...

Now for the venting... Ohio was only in Powerball for 2 months they held out to be in Powerball... i now truly think the game is rigged... remember when FL joined, not 2-3 months later they had a big money winner. Now when and if CA joins Powerball, give them 2 months and boom a winner for them too.

Yes i am a sore looser... but...... i do again wish the winner congrats.

And i hope that one of my states can win the jackpot next tim... [ More ]

Ohio lottery ticket wins $261.6M Powerball jackpot

Lottery Post — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:06:39 GMT

Big win comes just two months after game goes on sale in state

Ohio has a $261.6 million Powerball winner less than two months after the state joined the multi-state lottery game.

The Ohio Lottery says the only winning ticket matching all six numbers in Wednesday night's drawing was sold at a store in Sunbury, about 20 miles north of Columbus in central Ohio.

Lottery officials planned to present the Hub Carry Out Deli with a check for $100,000 Thursday morning for selling the winning ti... [ More ]
