DAYTON (AP)

Members of a lottery pool at an Urbana manufacturing plant are splitting a $1 million Powerball prize.

The state lottery agency reports that a pool of 19 people who work at Orbis Corp. matched five numbers without the Powerball number in the Feb. 11 drawing. After taxes, they each took home more than $37,000.

They claimed their prize Thursday at the Dayton regional lottery office. The factory where they work makes plastic products.

It was one of three tickets sold in Ohio that hit $1 million second-tier prizes in that Powerball drawing. Another prize was claimed by a suburban Columbus man, and the third is so far unclaimed.
