One Winning Ticket for $314M Powerball - You could live on that


RICHMOND IN - There was one winning ticket for the $314.3 million Powerball lottery prize, and it was sold in this city on the Indiana-Ohio state line, lottery officials said Sunday.
Lottery officials won't know who holds that ticket until someone comes forward, said Mark Sirkin, a spokesman for the Hoosier Lottery.
"We don't how many people - if it's one person, or a hundred people - is the winner. We have no idea. Whoever it is, they're wealthy," Sirkin said.
The ticket bearing the winning numbers - 2, 8, 23, 29, 35 and the Powerball: 19 - that were drawn Saturday night was sold at a Speedway convenience store.
The Hoosier Lottery's executive director, Kathryn A. Densborn, scheduled a Sunday afternoon news conference at the store some 70 miles east of Indianapolis. Full Story - Indianapolis Monthly Magazine - Virginia Slims Cigarettes - Buy Stamps Online
