On the heels of its first jackpot-winning Powerball draw, the Ohio Lottery has already sold its second jackpot-winning Powerball ticket.

The winning ticket was sold at Shirley’s Carryout in Curtice by clerk Jamie Rahe last night.

Ohio Lottery officials traveled to the store this morning to present owner Shirley Loofborow with a $48,500 retailer bonus check for selling the winning ticket.

"I am thrilled - you have no idea," Rahe said, adding that she hopes the winner is one of her regulars, someone she knows. "This is a small community - there are a lot of people who could use the money."

Asked whether she plays the lottery herself, Rahe said, "I have six kids and four grandkids. I'm thinking my money is better spent that way."

The estimated $97 million jackpot will be split with another winning ticket, sold in Montana.
 
The holder of the ticket has 180 days to come forward and claim the prize. The winning numbers were 11, 30, 45, 47 and 48 with a Powerball of 10. The Power Play multiplier was 3.
 
Ohio’s first Powerball jackpot, sold at Hub Carryout in Sunbury, came on the June 2 drawing, Ohio’s 14th draw since joining the game on April 16. The current jackpot win is Ohio’s second Powerball jackpot win in seven drawings. The estimated $97 million jackpot is an annuity option paid in 30 payments over 29 years (the first payment is immediate). The annual payments increase by 4% each year to keep up with the expected cost of living. The cash jackpot is estimated at $50.2 million; Ohio’s portion of that is $25.1 million.
 
Powerball is drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Saturday night’s jackpot starts at $20 million.
