There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery and the estimated jackpot for Monday's drawing is expected to grow to $1 billion, the fifth largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
There were seven tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, including one sold at a liquor store on Slauson Avenue in Pico Rivera. The other one sold in California was sold at a cafe and market in Markleeville in the Sierra Nevada mountain range near the Nevada border. They are each worth $552,641, the California Lottery announced.
Tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth either $1 million or $2 million, but California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.
Of the five tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold outside of California, two were sold in Michigan and one each in Florida, Maryland and Texas. The one sold in Florida is worth $2 million because the player utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.
