POWERBALL JACKPOT UPDATEfrom Eyewitness News Online Winning Tickets For Powerball Sold in Arizona and Missouri Reported by:  Associated PressWeb Producer: Jeff Morris Reported: Nov. 29, 2012 12:22 PM EST Updated: Nov. 29, 2012 1:37 PM EST

Sorry West Virginians, there are no new multimillionaires in the Mountain State from the Powerball jackpot. Arizona Lottery officials said one of the two winning Powerball tickets was sold at a convenience store in suburban Phoenix. The Arizona ticket was sold at a 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills. That ticket and another sold in Missouri will split the record Powerball jackpot of $587.5 million. That's about $294 million per ticket. Lottery officials said no one has come forward to claim the prizes, and it wasn't clear Thursday whether the winning tickets were purchased by individuals or groups. The jackpot is the largest in Powerball history. The winners could split a cash payout of $384.7 million before taxes, or about $192 million per ticket. They have six months to claim their prize money. The Missouri ticket was sold at convenience store about 35 miles north of Kansas City. Sorry West Virginians, there are no new multimillionaires in the Mountain State from the Powerball jackpot. The richest Powerball jackpot ever -- and the second-largest top prize in U.S. lottery history -- has been won, but the winners are not in West Virginia. The question now becomes: Who are the lucky winners waking up to new lives as multimillionaires? Powerball officials said early Thursday that tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri matched all six numbers to win the record $579.9 million jackpot. Lottery officials say one of the winning Powerball tickets sold at store in suburban Phoenix. The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6. It was not clear whether the winning tickets belonged to individuals or groups. Arizona lottery officials said early Thursday morning they had no information on that state's winner or winners but would announce where it was sold during a news conference later in the day. Lottery officials in Missouri did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Arizona officials were holding a press conference Thursday afternoon.
