Powerball 2 Tickets Worth 1 Million Each Sold In California But No One Hit 1.2 Billion Jackpot

Two tickets bought in California — one in Ontario and one in Milpitas — had 5/5 of the numbers, but only missed the Powerball number. The 5/5 tickets each carry a prize of $1.04 million, according to the California Lottery. Having that one extra number — the Powerball of 23 — would have jumped that payout to $1.2 billion. RELATED: Numbers drawn for $1.2 billion Powerball Instead of no winner, Saturday’s prize now rises to $1.5 billion — close to the all-time Powerball record of $1.586 billion won in 2016, but split among three tickets. If the winner takes the cash option instead of annual payments, it will be a lump sum of $745.9 million. Minus taxes, of course. The $1 million Ontario ticket was sold at Eastland Food Market, 1072 EG St. The Milpitas ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven at 1838 Milmount Dr. The winning numbers for Wednesday’s draw were 2-11-22-35-60 and PB 23. 16 tickets were sold across the country with a $1 million prize, plus three more with a $2 million prize due to the Power Play option. The odds of hitting all five numbers plus the Powerball are about 1 in 292 million. Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
