A Hartland, Michigan resident is celebrating after winning $1 million in the Christmas Eve Powerball drawing.

The lucky ticket, sold at the Kroger on E. Highland Road, matched all five white balls: 04, 25, 31, 52, and 59, securing the second-tier prize.

Although the ticket missed the red Powerball 19 for the jackpot, it brought a joyous holiday surprise to the local winner.

Winners are advised to contact Michigan Lottery Player Relations to claim their prize, with a one-year deadline from the drawing date.

In that same remarkable draw, an Arkansas player won the $1.82 billion jackpot—one of the largest in history.

Powerball tickets are $2 and available in Michigan, with odds of winning $1 million standing at 1 in 11.7 million.

Rosie the Riveter remains an iconic figure of women’s strength and resilience during World War II.

With men overseas, women—known as “Rosies”—filled vital industrial jobs, breaking barriers in factories and shipyards.

The famous “We Can Do It!” poster, created by J. Howard Miller in 1942, captured this newfound empowerment, featuring a determined woman in a bold red bandana.

Although first meant to boost morale, the poster later emerged as a symbol of feminism and women’s rights, gaining prominence in the 1980s.

Recent celebrations, like Rosie the Riveter Day at the National Museum of Industrial History and immersive performances at the Military Aviation Museum, highlight the continuing relevance of these trailblazers.

Their enduring legacy champions equality, inspiring generations to recognize the transformative power of courage and collective action.
