Are You Holding The Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In Los Angeles County?
A ticket with five numbers drawn Monday evening, but missing the Powerball number, was sold at a liquor store in the Mid-City. It's worth $161,556, the California Lottery announced.
The numbers drawn Monday were 6, 18, 33, 48, 53 and the Powerball number was 2. The estimated jackpot was $65 million.
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.
Powerball tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, but 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 and can be less or more than $1 million.
