The owner of the gas station where the six tickets were purchased also fared well. He has received $30,000 in prize money now that all of the winning tickets have been claimed.

Arizona has had an unusually high number of winners of the Powerball $1 million second prize this year, according to Yahoo! News.

More than 50 Arizona winners took home at least $10,000 in April, including Alex A. Defirore, who won $6.4 million, Yahoo! reported.
