After playing the same set of Powerball numbers every week for more than 15 years, an Ohio man has finally struck gold — literally. The lucky winner, whose name has not been disclosed for privacy reasons, matched all six numbers in the June 12, 2025 draw, claiming a staggering $221 million jackpot.
According to lottery officials, the man purchased his winning ticket from a small gas station in Columbus and used a combination of birthdates and personal milestones to form his number set — a strategy that clearly paid off.
A Life-Changing Win
“I always believed it would happen,” the winner reportedly told local media. “I just didn’t know when.”
He opted for the lump sum payout, which amounts to approximately $120 million before taxes. Officials confirmed that the winner plans to pay off debts, help his family, and donate a portion to charity.
This win is one of the largest of the year and marks Ohio’s biggest Powerball jackpot since 2015.
