By Mike Morris
April 22, 2010One Powerball ticket sold in a small Missouri farming community matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's drawing, winning a jackpot estimated at $258.5 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 11, 34, 41, 49 and 55, and the "Power Ball" was 20.
The winning ticket was sold in Marshall, Mo., a small town of about 12,000 residents 90 miles east of Kansas City. The jackpot is the 10th largest in Powerball history and the largest jackpot ever won in Missouri, according to that state's lottery officials.
The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing is $166 million, and the jackpot for Saturday night's Powerball game was reset at $20 million.
