Powerball Jackpot Rises to $154M – MyNewsLA.com
The estimated jackpot for Wednesday evening’s multi-state Powerball drawing hits $154 million.
There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the lottery on Monday.
A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold at a gasoline station in the San Jose suburb of Sunnyvale and is worth $481,655, the California Lottery announced.
While tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners.
The numbers drawn Monday were 17, 32, 48, 60, 64 and the Powerball number was 10. The estimated jackpot was $142 million.
The drawing was the 10th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.
The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
