A ticket with all six numbers in Saturday evening’s Powerball drawing was sold at a convenience store in Arleta and the player has the option of receiving the $207 million jackpot in 30 installments or an approximately $92.5 million lump sum payment, the California Lottery announced.

Both amounts are before federal taxes.

The numbers drawn Saturday were 1, 29, 37, 56, 68 and the Powerball number was 13.

The drawing was the 15th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Florida and New Hampshire, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game. They are each worth $2 million because the players 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.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.

The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.

The jackpot for Monday’s drawing will be $20 million.
