Powerball players win $555,000 in California. Where were the lucky tickets sold?
Two Powerball players in California won $555,503 each, just missing the $204 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, July 7, the California Lottery said.
California adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.
The lucky tickets were sold at Seafood City Supermarket in Santa Clarita, about a 35-mile drive northwest from Los Angeles, and a Chevron gas station in Orange, about a 30-mile drive southeast from Los Angeles, lottery officials said.
A player in Kentucky won $1 million, lottery officials said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $216 million, with a cash value of about $98.4 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, July 9, the site said.
The winning numbers were 33, 35, 58, 61 and 69, with a Powerball of 25. The Power Play multiplier was 5x.
More than 350,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $250,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.
