OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An attorney representing the winner of a $1 million Powerball drawing has submitted the winning ticket and claimed the prize.

Lottery officials said Thursday that attorney William Henley claimed the prize Tuesday in Oklahoma City on behalf of Lucky Stars Trust.

The name or names of those who bought the ticket were not released.

The ticket matched the first five balls from the Aug. 8 drawing — but did not match the Powerball. The numbers are 3, 7, 11, 15 and 28. The Powerball number was 12.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Lottery Commission has selected long-time state official Rollo Redburn as the agency's new executive director.

Five of the board's seven members met Tuesday and voted 5-0 to hire Redburn at an annual salary of $140,000.

Redburn is a 29-year employee of the Office of State Finance and helped launch the lottery after it was approved by Oklahoma voters in 2004. He served previously as the commission's director of administration and became interim director after James Scroggins resigned in March.
