GROVE CITY, Ohio — Check your tickets! Somebody is waking up $2 million richer after winning big money in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing.
Lottery officials say the $2 million winning auto-pick ticket was sold at a Speedway gas station in Grove City, Ohio.
The winning numbers in the Powerball drawing were: 40, 41, 58, 64 and 65. The Powerball was 17. The $2 million winning ticket matched the first five numbers, only missing the $102 million jackpot by failing to match the Powerball.
