OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ An Oklahoma City man has turned in a Powerball ticket worth $800,000. Oklahoma lottery officials say Randy Jones is one of eight people to match the five numbered white balls drawn Saturday night and missed only the Powerball number to win $200,000. He also played the Power Play multiplier which was four and quadruples his winnings to $800,000.

Jones says he bought the winning ticket at an OnCue Express convenience store in western Oklahoma City just minutes before the end of ticket sales.

Jones says he will use the money to pay off his house and live comfortably.

The winning numbers from the drawing are 13, 25, 30, 40, 43, and the Powerball was 12.
