Two Powerball tickets sold in Connecticut each won 100 thousand dollars in the Christmas Eve drawing, even as the massive 1 point 8 billion dollar jackpot was claimed in Arkansas. Lottery officials say a third Connecticut ticket won 50 thousand dollars. The winning numbers were 4, 25, 31, 52 and 59, with the Powerball number 19. No million dollar tickets were sold in Connecticut. The jackpot ranks as the second largest Powerball prize ever, with odds of winning at about one in 292 million.
