OK Lottery looking for jackpot winner


OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Lottery officials say nobody has come forward to claim the nearly $7 million prize in Saturday's Hot Lotto drawing.



The winning ticket was purchased at a Homeland grocery store in Norman using one of the lottery's self-service vending machines.



The numbers drawn were 7, 9, 18, 21, 33 and the Hot Ball number was 8. The owner of the winning ticket will be the third Hot Lotto Jackpot winner in Oklahoma. In 2008, Oklahoma City resident Steve Trimble won nearly $4 million. Henryetta resident James Nunn won more than $2 million.



Winners have 180 days from the day of the drawing to claim their prize at the Oklahoma Lottery Headquarters.
