OKLAHOMA CITY (March 3, 2026) - What was nearly tossed aside as clutter turned into a $1 million surprise for a Noble couple. Robert of Noble won $1 million after matching five numbers in the November 22, 2025 drawing of Powerball. The winning ticket had been sitting unnoticed on the couple's kitchen table a familiar catch-all spot for mail and paperwork. Yesterday, Robert's wife began cleaning off the table and came across the ticket. She set it aside, planning to check it later. That evening, the couple remembered the ticket and decided to scan it together. When they realized they had matched five numbers, shock quickly set in. "We were stunned," Robert said. "We just kept looking at each other." After renting for years, Robert and his wife had recently begun searching for land for a home of their own. Now, with $1 million in prize money, their plans are moving forward much sooner than expected. "This is one of those stories that reminds us why checking your tickets is so important," said Abby Morgan, Director of Marketing and Product Development for the Oklahoma Lottery. "You never know when a life-changing prize might be sitting right on your kitchen table." The winning ticket was purchased at Harps at 18450 E Hwy 9 in Norman.
