There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Saturday’s drawing to $207 million.
One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was sold at a supermarket in Orange and a convenience story in Newman in the San Joaquin Valley. They are both worth $1,326,260, the California Lottery announced.
Powerball tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, but 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.
A ticket in Wednesday’s drawing with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in Washington state is worth $1 million, according to Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 23, 27, 32, 35, 59 and the Powerball number was 11. The estimated jackpot is $190 million.
The drawing was the 14th 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. 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.
