Powerball ticket worth $1 million found in car seat on Christmas Day
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A northern Indiana couple found a million-dollar Powerball ticket on Christmas Day in between the seats of their car.
The couple on Thursday drove from their home in Kendallville to the downtown Indianapolis Hoosier Lottery office to claim their prize five hours before their ticket expired.
“It was an emotional day for the both of us,” the couple told the Hoosier Lottery in a press release, which did not identify the pair.
The couple purchased the ticket at the Kendallville Finish Line convenience store located at 620 Professional Way in Kendallville.
The lottery says, after the couple learned the million dollars was unclaimed, they began their search.
The ticket matched all five numbers from the June 29 drawing.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
