At least three winning tickets were sold in a record $1.5 billion Powerball drawing, including one in Florida, one in Tennessee and one in suburban Los Angeles, a California lottery official said. The three winners overcame odds of 1 in 292.2 million to land on the winning numbers, 4-8-19-27-34 and Powerball 10. More winners could still be revealed early Thursday. No details were immediately available about the Florida and Tennessee winners and none of the winnersâ€™ identities has been revealed, but the California ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills, California lottery spokesman Alex Traverso told The Associated Press. The 7-Eleven will get a $1 million bonus for selling the winning ticket, Traverso said.

Authorities say two police officers were injured in a car accident Wednesday night in the Fairhill section of Philadelphia. The officers were in plain clothes and were driving an unmarked car, authorities say, responding to reports of shots fired and a possible armed man when the crash happened around 11:30 p.m. A 20-year-old man slammed into the officers at the intersection of B Street and Westmoreland. After the crash, the 20-year-old ran off, authorities say. Police called for backup and caught up with him four blocks away, then arrested him after a brief struggle. Police say he was drunk and driving with a suspended license. The officers were taken to Temple Hospital in stable condition. One officer is suffering from a head injury, the other has a broken finger. Both are okay.

St. Christopherâ€™s Hospital for Children Celebrates its 140th anniversary with an ongoing event that looks at the history of the hospital. Kate Donaghy with St. Christopherâ€™s Hospital says during their series, they examine the medical profession since the hospitalâ€™s inception. Donaghy says the series also shines a spotlight on the medical milestones St. Christopherâ€™s has achieved over the years. The 14-week event ends in late March and in April, the hospital plans on unveiling the hospitalâ€™s new tower.
