There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Monday’s drawing to $570 million.
There were four tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
The two sold in California — one each at a liquor store in the unincorporated community of Pacheco in Contra Costa County in the East Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay Area and at a gas station-convenience store in San Jose — are each worth $609,497, the California Lottery announced.
While tickets with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or a multiple of $1 million, California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners.
The ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, sold in Arizona is worth $1 million.
The ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in Puerto Rico 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.
The numbers drawn Saturday were 6, 7, 12, 47, 53 and the Powerball number was 21. The estimated jackpot was $549 million.
The drawing was the 29th since a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
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.
