Powerball players win $28,000 prizes in California. Where were lucky tickets sold?
Two Powerball players in California won $28,413 each, just missing the $129 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The tickets matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, April 19, the California Lottery site said.
One lucky ticket was sold at a Chevron gas station in Milpitas, about a 45-mile drive southeast from San Francisco, and the other at Azteca Liquor in Pico Rivera, which is about a 15-mile drive southeast from downtown Los Angeles, lottery officials said.
A player in Nebraska won a $1 million prize.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $139 million, with a cash value of about $63.8 million, for the next drawing Monday, April 21, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 7, 25, 37, 39 and 63, with a Powerball of 1, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
More than 490,000 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 March 29, when a California player hit the $527 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
