NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Lottery officials are confirming that a Tennessee couple has one of the three winning Powerball tickets for the $1.6 billion jackpot. They say John and Lisa Robinson had the winning ticket and the lottery had verified it. The Robinsons are from Munford, Tennessee, a small town about 25 miles north of Memphis. The other winning tickets were sold in Chino Hills, California, and Melbourne Beach, Florida. Those winners have not been announced yet. The Robinsons appeared on the "Today" show earlier Friday and said they had a winning ticket.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry will be meeting tomorrow with Iran's foreign minister and a top official of the European Union, to discuss the progress toward implementing the Iran nuclear deal. The State Department says the meeting will take place in Vienna. Before the deal can be formally implemented, the International Atomic Energy Agency must verify that Iran has complied with its terms. That is expected to happen in the next days, possibly Saturday.
MIAMI (AP) — Marco Rubio's campaign is out with a pair of ads today promoting his stance on immigration -- and responding to criticism from Jeb Bush and other Republican rivals on the contentious issue. In one ad, Rubio, speaking directly into the camera, says he opposes amnesty and would deport "criminal aliens." And he says he will roll back President Barack Obama's executive orders allowing certain people, who entered the country illegally, to stay.
NEW YORK (AP) — Sean Penn says this wasn't the way it was supposed to turn out. The actor tells "60 Minutes" on CBS that he was hoping his article about the Mexican drug lord known as "El Chapo" would contribute to the discussion about the U.S. government's war on drugs. Instead, the public's attention has been focused on the fact that Penn found and met with Joaquin Guzman in October while Guzman was still on the run. He was finally caught last week. Penn says, "Let me be clear. My article failed."
BURNS, Ore. (AP) — A spokesman for the armed group occupying a national wildlife refuge in Oregon says they still want to have a meeting with local residents, perhaps early next week. Members of the group had wanted to conduct the meeting tonight to explain themselves and perhaps say when they would leave, but Harney County officials won't let them use the fairgrounds, as they'd hoped.
