A Powerball ticket sold in California won the $527 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, March 29, the California Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Anaheim, which is about a 25-mile drive southeast from Los Angeles, officials said.

Tickets sold in Georgia, Ohio, Oregon and Texas won $1 million each.

The grand prize now resets to an estimated $20 million, with a cash value of about $9.3 million, for the next drawing Monday, March 31, the national Powerball site said.

The winning numbers were 7, 11, 21, 53 and 61, with a Powerball of 2, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

More than 925,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was previously last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
