OKLAHOMA CITY -- Authorities evacuated the Oklahoma Lottery Commission mail room after a suspicious powder was found Tuesday.

Oklahoma City police and fire and hazmat were called out to the Lotto Commission to determine whether the substance was dangerous.

Oklahoma City fire officials said the powder was non-biological, however the Health Department is still trying to determine exactly what the substance is.

A Lottery Commission official said the bag contained a small amount of a crystal-like white residue.

The three workers who came in contact with the material were examined and are fine.
