Powerball player wins $675,000 in California. Where was the lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball player in California won $677,821, just missing the $309 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, July 21, the California Lottery said.
A ticket sold in Georgia won a $1 million prize.
The lucky California ticket was sold at Specialty Tobacco Outlet in San Bruno, which is about a 10-mile drive south from San Francisco.
The winning numbers were 8, 11, 28, 33 and 42 with a Powerball of 2. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
Powerball jackpot rises
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $325 million, with a cash value of about $145.3 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, July 23, the national Powerball site said.
Nearly 400,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes in the July 21 drawing ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.
