One fortunate Southern Californian is the state’s latest millionaire after the numbers for the $725 million Powerball jackpot had been drawn Saturday evening.

The successful numbers had been 1, 12, 20, 33, 66 and the Powerball was 21.

One ticket matched 5 numbers and can take house $5,422,749. The successful ticket was offered at Thirst Quencher Liquor in Burbank.

Because the ticket was lacking the Powerball quantity, the primary jackpot will improve to an estimated $785 million for Monday evening’s drawing.

5 different fortunate Californians hit 4 numbers plus the Powerball and can take house $22,588.

Saturday evening’s jackpot was the eighth-largest within the recreation’s historical past and the third-largest in 2023, coming in behind a $754.6 million jackpot in Washington in February, and a $1.08 billion prize received by a ticket in California in July (which has yet to be claimed). 

Inside the final yr, California has had two large Powerball jackpots — a $2.04 billion prize, the most important lottery prize ever within the U.S., and the aforementioned $1.08 billion payout — that dwarf the present jackpot’s dimension.

The jackpot winner can select between the annuitized payout of steadily growing funds over 29 years or the lump sum.
