Powerball ticket worth $3 million sold in California
LOS ANGELES - Feeling lucky?
No tickets matched all six numbers for the $750 million jackpot in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing, so the jackpot continues to swell. Right now, it's sitting at an estimated $88 million for Monday's drawing.
The numbers drawn Saturday were 19, 36, 37, 42, 59, and Powerball 19.
Although there was no jackpot winner, one person in California matched five numbers, according to the California Lottery. That lucky ticket worth a whopping $3,181,602 was sold at Q Quick Mart located at 540-42 N. Magnolia Avenue in Anaheim.
California lottery players do have luck on their side when it comes to Powerball. All four of the largest Powerball jackpots ever were won in California, including the largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, a $2.04 jackpot won in November 2022 by Edwin Castro.

The next Powerball drawing is on Monday.
