Person from Indiana wins $314 million Powerball jackpot
{{date|August 26, 2007}}

There was one ticket that matched all the numbers in last night's [[w:Powerball|Powerball lottery game]]. The ticket was sold at the Speedway convenience store in eastern [[Indiana]].

Lottery officials will not know who won the jackpot worth an estimated $314 million until the winner comes forward. The convenience store will receive $100,000 for selling the winning ticket.

Last night's winning numbers were: 8, 23, 29, 35 and the Powerball was 19.

Also sold in Indiana was a ticket matching five of the six numbers, earning $200,000. The jackpot grew so huge because there was not a winner since early June.

The Powerball lottery game is sold in 19 states. Wednesday's jackpot falls back down to $15 million.
