BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ The Idaho Lottery is still waiting for the
winner of a $1 million Powerball ticket to realize their new found
wealth.

Lottery officials say a winning ticket was sold by a vendor in
the small town of Irwin, in southeast Idaho and about 12 miles from
the Wyoming border. The winning ticket emerged from the drawing
Saturday night.

While the winning ticket did not match the Powerball number, it
did match every other number and has the PowerPlay option, making
it worth an automatic $1 million.

Idaho Lottery Director Jeff Anderson says anyone who bought a
Powerball ticket in eastern Idaho recently to check their tickets
carefully.

Under rules, players have 180 days to claim prizes from lottery
offices in Boise.
