CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Somebody who bought a Powerball ticket in Northeast Ohio is $1 million richer.

A ticket matching five regular numbers was sold at a GetGo gas station in Lakewood for the Nov. 7 drawing, which was actually delayed nearly 10 hours due to a processing issue, according to Powerball officials.

It was the only $1 million ticket sold in Ohio.

One individual who purchased a ticket in California matched all five regular numbers and the Powerball, winning the $2.04 billion grand prize.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
