LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- The winner -- or winners -- of the biggest jackpot on record for any lottery in the United States won't be a secret much longer.
Nebraska Lottery officials planned to reveal who won the $365 million Powerball jackpot at a news conference Wednesday.
The winning numbers drawn Saturday were 15, 17, 43, 44 and 48, with a Powerball number of 29, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association of Des Moines, Iowa, which runs the game for the participating states.
The only ticket matching the winning numbers was sold at a a U-Stop convenience store in Lincoln, lottery officials said. (Watch what identity clues are on store surveillance cameras -- 1:58)

I love them too...I don't think you could have scripted a better bunch.
Hey, I thought a famous mathematician tore up his ticket and said that nobody can win? What's up with that?
Change his name? LOL.
Because some among us assume the worst about EVERYTHING???
:-)
They installed the first lottery thing over on Millbrook last week. :-)
After taxes they will get about $15 mil each. Good personalities - all.
They seem like a nice bunch of people.
Where is this last guy from? I missed it.
He said his father was a very important person and he
might go back to visit now?
Think about how much fun it would be to send money to friends and relatives anonymously that you know need help. I wonder how long I could keep a secret like that!
Did you get the fact that during their initial meeting to discuss the winning that several went to work at the plant because they think a lot of their employer and didn't want to let them be short handed.
Also, one said he loves everything about Lincoln, NB, except the smoking ban. There was a big applause of the audience.
I am checking the family tree just in case I am related. ;-)
Let me know when they turn it on!
ROFLMAO! You can go to ancestry.com and see if there is ANY link at all!
Very funny, verity! Very.
I have no doubt there's one near you!
Unless the lawyers get in the way.
I don't know, I am in Cary. There's probably an ordinance somewhere banning signs with big yellow stars or something. They'll find a way to screw it up. ;-)
Thanks! I love watching the seasonal behavior of the Beep-Beeps and also our Gambel's Quail...it's springtime here, and both varieties are getting "goosy".
