>>> be much sleep to be had in at least three american households tonight, assuming they've checked their lottery tickets and have discovered they won a share of that record setting jackpot, which will likely be more than $640 million. $1.5 billion were sold, but only three had the winning numbers. sold in kansas , illinois and maryland and tonight, as the rest of us snap back to reality with with our wildest dreams back on indefinite hold, the wait is on to find out who the winners are and what they're going to do with that cash. kevin tibbles starts us off in illinois .
>> reporter: redbud, illinois , is a fairly small town and tonight, there are all sorts of rumors, but here, as elsewhere, so far, no one's come forward saying they are the big winner. the motomart was all abuzz in redbud, illinois .
>> couldn't wait to talk to somebody and share it.
>> reporter: rudd red bud is about an hour east of st. louis. there was a redbud mentioned in a movie once.
>> we're looking for a dog creek road . that would be near the town of redbud.
>> i sure as hell wouldn't start from here.
>> reporter: that was in vermont. as of now, this redbud is more famous.
>> kind of puts redbed on the map.
>> reporter: still, the winner hasn't come forward and redbud's not alone. in maryland , customers checked their numbers at the 7-11.
>> i went everywhere except for this store here.
>> reporter: officials say a winning quick pick ticket was bought here.
>> our advice is to safeguard the ticket, sign the back of it.
>> reporter: they're eager to pay it out, but in maryland , you have the right to keep that to yourself. it's not just the jackpot winners cashing in. if you got all five numbers without the mega ball, you won a cool $250,000. four numbers without the ball, $10,000. three numbers nets you a modest $150. lakisha bolt won the smaller prize.
>> i checked and i won 150.
>> reporter: and the third winner is somewhere in kansas , but in kansas , you're not required to come forward either, and besides, lottery offices are closed there for the weekend. and rules differ from state to state as to whether or not any lucky winner has to come forward at all. meanwhile, the employees here are going to be sharing in some form of prize because they get some extra money for selling the winning ticket. back
