$1 Million Powerball Ticket Sold in Indiana's KendallvilleSource: Unsplash/ person’s name

Someone in Indiana just got a whole lot luckier this weekend, and it's not because of any Hoosier basketball wins. A Powerball ticket sold in the humble confines of Kendallville hit five numbers, missing only the Powerball for Saturday's drawing, landing someone a cool $1 million prize. The ticket was purchased at Kendallville Finish Line, located at 620 Professional Way, as reported by FOX59.

The winning digits that changed one lucky individual's life on June 29 were 26, 51, 54, 61, and 69 with a Powerball of 25. Although the jackpot went untouched, players in Indiana and New Jersey weren't left totally empty-handed, both states boasted their own $1 million winners, according to WANE.

Indiana isn't a stranger to victory in this arena of luck, with officials from the Hoosier Lottery stating the state first hit the Powerball jackpot back in 1992 and, has lead the nation since with a total of 39 jackpot wins. The Hoosier state seems to have a special relationship with the Powerball drawing, persistently turning out winner after winner.
