KIOWA — A convenience store in southeastern Oklahoma has sold a Powerball ticket worth $32.8 million.

The Powerball numbers drawn Saturday night were 7, 26, 36, 49 and 58, with the Powerball number being 4. The winner bought the ticket at a Kwik Chek store in the Pittsburg County town of Kiowa.

State lottery officials say they had not heard from the ticket's owner as of early Monday afternoon.

Winners have 180 days from the day of the drawing to claim their prize at the lottery's Oklahoma City headquarters.

The ticket's owner will be the fourth Powerball jackpot winner in Oklahoma since the game first was offered in the state in January 2006.

The previous jackpots featured prizes of $101.8 million, $101.5 million and $85 million.
