Crestview Elementary Teachers Win $1 Million Powerball in Ohio Lottery Pool

The group kept a deceased colleague in their pool, directing her share to her children as a tribute.

Overview

  • Ten teachers from Ashland, Ohio, won $1,000,004 in the Aug. 6 Powerball drawing, according to the Ohio Lottery.
  • The auto-pick ticket was bought at a Circle K in Seville and matched all five white numbers without the Powerball.
  • Each winner is expected to receive about $72,000 after taxes.
  • Organizer Karen Rader said she realized the win while checking the tickets and then alerted the group.
  • The pool honored late member Mary Jo Manocchio by assigning her prize share to her four adult children.
