$1 million Powerball ticket sold at Circle K gas station in West Columbus
One lucky person in the Columbus area became a millionaire Wednesday night when five of their numbers purchased at a West Side gas station matched the numbers drawn for Powerball — but without the Powerball number.
The Circle K gas station located at 5499 Hall Road sold the winning ticket, according to the Ohio Lottery. The gas station will receive a $1,000 sales bonus.
Circle K employees could not be reached for comment, and the winner has not come forward, but they have 180 days from the draw date to make a claim, the Ohio Lottery indicated.
