2 winning $1 million Powerball tickets sold in Southern California

Two lucky Southern Californians have won over $1 million after numbers were drawn for the Powerball jackpot on Saturday night.

Although no winner hit all six numbers for the $1 billion jackpot, four tickets matched five numbers and will take home $1,165,399.

The winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, 33 and a Powerball of 17. The Power Play multiplier was 3.

Only two tickets in SoCal hit five numbers. They were sold at:

• 7-Eleven at 2705 East Huntington Drive in Duarte
• Ontario Liquor at 1403 East 4th Street in Ontario

Two additional tickets that also hit five numbers were sold in Northern California at a Mobil in Pleasant Hill and a 7-Eleven in Milpitas.

The Powerball jackpot will be an estimated $1.1 billion for the next drawing on Monday, Sept. 1 – the game’s fifth-largest prize ever. 

If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize estimated at $1.1 billion or a lump sum payment estimated at $498.4 million. Both prize options are before taxes. 

If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million and the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9.
