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 $45 million.
A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold at a gas station in Calabasas and is worth $2,242,838, California Lottery officials said.
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.
The numbers drawn Saturday were 6, 47, 53, 60 and the Powerball number was 6. The estimated jackpot was $35 million.
The drawing was the second since the last time 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, which conducts the game. 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.
