Winning $1.7 billion Powerball jackpot sold in California
It’s the second-highest jackpot ever won in the multistate lottery game. The last time someone won a Powerball jackpot was in July.
Well, what are the odds? Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in California won the $1.7 billion prize Wednesday — almost three months after someone else in the Golden State won the last jackpot.
There was only one winning ticket in Wednesday’s drawing, according to the game’s website, which reset the jackpot to $20 million.
California Lottery’s website listed the winning ticket sale location as a market in Frazier Park, a small community of around 2,500 in Kern County between Bakersfield and Los Angeles.
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday were 22-24-40-52-64, and the Powerball was 10.
The prize had been rolling over since it was last won in mid-July, when it was $1.08 billion. That winning ticket was bought by someone in downtown Los Angeles.
