01/14/2016

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The frenzy over the largest Powerball jackpot in history paid off for the state of Kansas.
 
Kansas Lottery officials say sales for the Wednesday's Powerball drawing were a record $9.68 million. The previous record was $6.77 million, set just last Saturday.
 
Lottery spokeswoman Sally Lunsford says the state recorded $5.31 million in sales in Kansas on Wednesday alone. 
 
Three winning tickets were sold for Wednesday's Powerball but none were in Kansas.  However, two $1 million Powerball winning tickets were sold in the state, one in the southwest and one in south central Kansas.
 
Seven $50,000 Powerball winning tickets were sold—including three in northeast Kansas.

 The winning numbers were 4-8-19-27-34 and the Powerball was 10.
