Powerball ticket sold at Bay Area smoke shop wins $677,821
A Powerball ticket purchased at a Bay Area tobacco shop is worth $677,821, California lottery officials confirmed Monday night. The ticket matched five of the six winning numbers in the July 21 drawing — just one number shy of the $309 million jackpot. It was sold at Specialty Tobacco Outlet, located about 10 miles south of San Francisco, and correctly matched the numbers 8, 11, 28, 33 and 42. The missing number was the red Powerball: 2. The Power Play multiplier for the drawing was 2x. The San Bruno ticket was among several high-value winners on Monday. A ticket sold in Georgia earned $1 million by also matching all five main numbers but not the Powerball. No player nationwide hit the jackpot, pushing the grand prize to an estimated $325 million for the next drawing on Wednesday. The cash option stands at approximately $145.3 million. In total, nearly 400,000 Powerball tickets sold across the country won prizes in the July 21 drawing, ranging from $4 to $100,000, according to lottery officials. California has seen a string of major wins in recent months. In May, a player in the state won a $204.5 million jackpot. Earlier this year, another California ticket claimed a $526.5 million prize. The odds of hitting the jackpot remain steep, at 1 in 292,201,338.
