Powerball player in California just misses $88 million jackpot — but still wins big

A Powerball ticket sold in California won nearly $350,000, just missing out on the estimated $88 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers in the drawing Monday, Jan. 15, but not the Powerball, the California Lottery said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $102 million, with a cash value of $50 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, Jan. 17, according to the national Powerball site.

The winning numbers were 13, 30, 35, 49 and 59, with a Powerball of 4.

More than 37,000 other tickets sold in California won prizes from $3 to $50,000 in the draw, the lottery said. Prizes in California are adjusted based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.

The winning ticket worth $349,972 was sold at a convenience store in Richmond in the Bay Area, the lottery said.

There were no other near-miss winners in the United States in Monday’s Powerball drawing.
