Powerball player wins $5.7 million prize in California. Where was the lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball ticket sold in California won $5,717,713 but just missed the $483 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, March 26, the California Lottery said.
The winning ticket was sold at Rocklin Mini Mart in Rocklin, about a 20-mile drive northeast from Sacramento, lottery officials said.
Lottery prizes in California are adjusted based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $515 million, with a cash value of about $242.7 million, for the next drawing Saturday, March 29, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 5, 20, 29, 39 and 53, with a Powerball of 6, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
More than 590,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
