A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, in last Saturday’s multi-state Powerball lottery drawing was sold at a gas station in Glendale and is worth $1,417,623.
The ticket was sold at United Oil, located at 1118 N. Glendale Ave.
Tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth either $1 million or $2 million, but California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.
One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, were also sold in Minnesota and West Virginia. They are each worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, said in a statement.
There were no tickets sold with all six numbers.
The numbers drawn on Saturday, June 25, were 6, 12, 20, 27, 32 and the Powerball number was 4. The jackpot was $335 million.
The drawing was the 25th since a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in about 293 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.87.
The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
