$110 MILLION WINNER HASN'T COME FORWARD

Someone bought a red-and-white slip of paper worth a cool $110 million - the richest lottery ticket in U.S. history - at grocery store less than four hours before Wednesday night's drawing.

By Thursday morning, lottery computers pinpointed the winning location as the Sentry Food Store-South in this blue-collar town on Lake Winnebago.

The winning entry in the Powerball lottery - played in 14 states and Washington, D.C. - is the latest big-lottery payoff in the town. In 1990, two other customers bought winning tickets for multimillion-dollar lottery prizes at a store and a gas station on the same street.

The mystery individual or group has 180 days to claim the whopping prize. - Associated Press
