Unemployed father to split Powerball jackpot
A divorced father from Ashland, Kentucky, with unemployment benefits near exhaustion, claimed a quarter of the 294.8 million Powerball jackpot after one of his eight tickets matched the drawing. He planned a lump sum payout, with the option of 25 years, and awaited ticket validation in Louisville. Other winners were reported in New Hampshire and Minnesota, with Delaware and Rollinsford, New Hampshire, also noting tickets sold.
