110 West O Street, Lincoln, NE

I bought the winning Powerball lottery ticket at a U-Save Market in Lincoln, Nebraska. Here's a Google map.

[And no—I didn't really win the lottery, I'm just creating this blog entry to see how many web hits I can rack up. Research reveals that this U-Save is on the "wrong side of the tracks" relative to the University of Nebraska. But it's not far from the restaurant (called Grandmother's) that was owned by Governor Bob Kerrey, if memory serves. ]

[ whoops, Mick M points out I misspelled Kerrey. fixed it. ]

Powerball winning ticket sold in Lincoln, NE

Lottery officials verified Sunday that a Powerball ticket sold in Lincoln [Nebraska] has the winning numbers for a $365 million prize, the largest lottery jackpot in the nation's history.

Only one winning ticket was sold for Saturday's jackpot, according to the Powerball Web site. No one had come forward to claim the jackpot early Sunday, Nebraska Lottery spokesman Brian Rockey said.

"We don't know if the winner knows yet," he said.

A U-Stop convenience store in Lincoln sold the winning ticket, Rockey said.

[ I wonder if it is the U-Stop not far from this house on C street that I lived in in 1983. ]
