Powerball player wins $1.8 million in California. Where was lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball ticket sold in California won $1,840,664, narrowly missing the $376 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers, missing only the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, Oct. 29, the California Lottery said.
The lucky ticket was sold at a Circle K in El Cajon, about a 15-mile drive northeast from San Diego.
California adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.
The winning numbers were 4, 24, 49, 60 and 65 with a Powerball of 1. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
Powerball jackpot rises
Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $400 million, with a cash value of about $190.7 million, for the next drawing Saturday, Nov. 1, the national Powerball site said.
About 428,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won Sept. 6, when players in Missouri and Texas split the $1.787 billion grand prize.
