One lottery ticket worth $314.3 million

RICHMOND, Ind. – 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, told reporters at the store some 70 miles east of Indianapolis that aside from the winning ticket, a ticket matching five of the six numbers was sold in Munster and is worth $200,000.
