Sold ticket in California wins US$448m
Print Edition
ONE ticket sold in California matched all the winning numbers drawn on Saturday for the Powerball jackpot that soared to an estimated US$447.8 million on a surge of last-minute buying, lottery officials said.
The numbers revealed just after 11pm were 32, 26, 20, 38 and 58, with a Powerball 3. Lottery officials said one ticket, purchased in Sun City, California, matched all the numbers for the grand prize.
The lump sum payout for the winning ticket would be US$279.1 million.
The grand prize in the multi-state US lottery soared to its highest in months after 19 straight drawings failed to produce a winner.
The last Powerball drawing to produce a jackpot winner was on April 1, said California Lottery spokesman Mike Bond. California is one of 44 states, plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, that participate in Powerball.
Saturday’s estimated US$447.8-million jackpot, the seventh largest in Powerball history, beat out the US$435.3 million won by a ticket buyer in Indiana in a February 22 drawing, after a late surge in ticket buying.
That anonymous winner, described by his spokeswoman as a factory worker who graduated from Purdue University, chose the lump-sum cash option of US$263.5 million when he came forward in March.
Powerball’s jackpot hit a record US$1.6 billion in January 2016.
