LOS ANGELES (AP) — A successful price ticket has been bought in California for the Powerball jackpot price an estimated $1.08 billion, the 6th greatest in U.S. historical past and the 3rd greatest within the historical past of the sport.
The successful numbers for Wednesday evening’s drawing had been: white balls 7, 10, 11, 13, 24 and purple Powerball 24. The California Lottery mentioned on Twitter that the successful price ticket was once bought in Los Angeles at Las Palmitas Mini Marketplace.
Ultimate price ticket gross sales driven the jackpot past its previous estimate of $1 billion to $1.08 billion on the time of the drawing, transferring it from the 7th greatest to the 6th greatest U.S lottery jackpot ever received.
The winner can make a choice both the whole jackpot paid out in annually increments or a $558.1 million, one-time lump sum earlier than taxes.
The closing time any person had received the Powerball jackpot was once April 19 for a most sensible prize of just about $253 million. Since then, nobody had received the grand prize.
Powerball is performed in 45 states, in addition to Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
