Good morning, Westerville. Lightning struck twice in Central Ohio's lottery landscape as two $1 million Powerball tickets were sold just miles apart—one at Hudson Express Carryout in northeast Columbus and another in Champaign County. These lucky winners emerged from Saturday's staggering $1.787 billion jackpot drawing, the second-largest in U.S. lottery history. While they didn't claim the grand prize (which will be split between two nationwide winners), their million-dollar windfall certainly beats the typical convenience store purchase.
From life-changing lottery wins to luxury living, a $2.8 million New Albany estate is turning heads with its private movie theater and what's being called the "Porsche of bathtubs." Meanwhile, culture enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the Johnstone Fund for New Music's 13th season, bringing eight innovative concerts to the Short North Stage through June 2024—starting with the eclectic Pendulum Duo on September 9.

These Ohio tickets were among 18 nationwide $1 million winners from Saturday's drawing, which also produced two jackpot winners who will split an estimated $1.787 billion prize.
