               US Awaits Winner of $425 Million Powerball Lottery

   At least one person in the United States has purchased a winning ticket
   for the $425 million Powerball multi-state cash lottery.
   The winning numbers for the lottery were drawn late Wednesday night,
   and an official with California`s state lottery agency says a ticket
   matching those numbers was purchased in the city of Milpitas, located
   near San Francisco.
   The odds of buying a winning ticket was one in 175 million.
   The jackpot was the sixth-largest in U.S. lottery history, and the
   fourth-largest for Powerball, which operates in 43 states, plus
   Washington, D.C. and the Virgin Islands.
