The Iowa State women fall to 6-6 in the Big 12. Texas Tech used a 21-5 run in the opening half to blow the game open in a 71-58 victory in Lubbock.

Bryanna Fernstrom led the Cyclones with 19 points as they fall to 15-8 overall.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Tickets in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas have matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jackpot Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager for the Multi-State Lottery Association, says the Puerto Rico ticket was the first Powerball jackpot winner ever sold outside the continental United States. Puerto Rico joined Powerball less than a year ago. Dooley had no immediate information on the specific locations of where the tickets were sold.
Should the winners select the lump sum option, each would get a one-third share of $381,138,450.16 before taxes. The jackpot was the third-largest in Powerball history and the fifth-largest U.S. lottery prize. The jackpot now goes back to $40 million.
The winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were: 11, 13, 25, 39, 54 and the Powerball 19.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

Lottery officials say there are at least three winning tickets in Wednesday night’s big Powerball drawing. The winning tickets are in North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Texas. Should the winners select the lump sum option, each would get a little more than $127 million before taxes.
