LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 22, 2006

(AP) Nebraska Lottery officials say the winner _ or winners _ of the record $365 million Powerball jackpot will be revealed Wednesday. Lottery officials scheduled a news conference at Lincoln's Cornhusker Hotel.
The winning ticket in last Saturday's drawing was sold in Lincoln.
It was the biggest jackpot on record for any lottery in the United States.
Lottery officials earlier said that winners of big jackpots most often consult with a lawyer or financial adviser before coming forward.
Rumors and speculation about the winner were abundant.
The Lincoln Journal Star said on its Web site that "sources close to the situation have confirmed" the winning ticket was held by a group of at least seven workers at a local meatpacking plant.
