BONITA, Calif. (CNS) - There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery and the estimated jackpot for Saturday's drawing will be $262 million.
There were four tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, including one at a supermarket in Bonita which is worth $1,036,009, the California Lottery announced.
Lottery officials said the ticket was sold at the Vons grocery store on 4404 Bonita Road.
The others were sold in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio and are each worth $1 million.
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.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 2, 4, 54, 61, 62 and the Powerball number was 14. The jackpot was $239 million.
The drawing was the 18th 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, which conducts the game. 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.
