The winning ticket for Wednesday night's $232 million Powerball jackpot was sold in the ranching and farming town of 2,800 people. Lottery officials say it's the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot ever. The jackpot winner has not yet come forward. State lottery officials plan to hold a news conference Thursday to offer details. Out of the millions of tickets sold for Wednesday night's drawing, only one matched all six winning numbers: five, six, twelve, 16 and 21. The Powerball was seven. Powerball is played in 30 states, Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Winner is about 200 miles southwest of Sioux Falls, near the Nebraska border. ___ On the Net: http://www.powerball.com/ |
