A food mart in a small city north of Dallas, Texas, was one of three places where winning tickets were sold in the estimated $564.1 million U.S. Powerball lottery, officials said on Thursday.
Winning tickets were sold in Princeton, Texas, as well as North Carolina and Puerto Rico for the jackpot drawing Wednesday night, which was the third-largest in the game's history and one of the largest lottery jackpots ever in the United States.
The Texas ticket was bought with the cash option, meaning the winner or winners will receive about $127 million before taxes, the Texas Lottery said. The holder of that winning ticket has yet to come forward, a lottery spokeswoman said.
