A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, in Saturday evening’s drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery were sold at a gasoline station-convenience store in Moorpark and is worth $812,200, the California Lottery announced.
While tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 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.
One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold in Ohio and Oregon and are each worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, announced.
There were no tickets sold with all six numbers, pushing the estimated jackpot for Monday’s drawing to $137 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday were 5, 19, 21, 28, 64 and the Powerball number was 14. The estimated jackpot was $126 million.
The drawing was the seventh 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.
