Powerball ticket worth more than $1 million sold in Milpitas
MILPITAS – No one won the $1.2 billion Powerball jackpot Wednesday, but two tickets worth more than $1 million each were sold in California, including one in Milpitas.
The top prize is now estimated at $1.5 billion with a cash option of $745.9 million for the next drawing on Saturday.
The winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing were white balls 2, 11, 22, 35, 60 and red Powerball 23.
Across the country, more than 7.2 million tickets won cash prizes totaling $74.9 million.
In California, two tickets matched all five white balls but missed matching the red Powerball to win $1,044,212 each. The tickets were sold at the 7-Eleven at 1838 Milmount Drive in Milpitas and at Eastland Food Market at 1072 East G St. in Ontario.
If a player wins Saturday’s top prize, it will be the second-largest in Powerball history and third-largest in U.S. lottery history, only behind the $1.586 billion Powerball and $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpots, according to lottery officials.
The jackpot was last won in Pennsylvania on Aug. 3.
