SLAUGHTER, La. (BRPROUD) – Aaron Rose is one of five finalists for the POWERBALL First Millionaire of the Year” Promotion.

Rose happens to be from Slaughter, Louisiana and POWERBALL is “one of his many vices.”

That vice may pay off big on January 1.

  • A deluxe dinner for eight
  • $500 to spend at Party City

According to Powerball, “For the third consecutive year, POWERBALL will hold a special drawing for the $1 million prize just after midnight ET on ABC’s broadcast of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2022.”
