Key Points:
- A group of co-workers from Independence, Ohio, won $1 million in the Powerball lottery after pooling their money to buy tickets.
- They initially won $8 on December 17, 2025, and used those winnings to purchase a $10 ticket for the December 20 drawing, which matched all five white balls and the Powerball number.
- The odds of winning the jackpot were approximately 1 in 11.7 million, and after federal and state taxes totaling 26.75%, the group will share $732,500.
- The winning ticket was purchased at Speedway #3671 in Tallmadge, Ohio, and one winner humorously remarked they were glad not to have won the larger $1.
