RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Lottery officials awaited word Thursday from the holder of a winning $217 million Powerball ticket that could have some air miles on it: It was purchased at Richmond International Airport.

Up to 10,000 travelers pass through the suburban airport daily, and all go by the self-service machine where the winning numbers were played. The ticket apparently wasn’t held by an airport employee.
