At least 1 California winner in $400-million Powerball drawing
There’s at least one California winner in Wednesday night’s $400-million Powerball jackpot drawing, state Lottery officials said.
A winning ticket that matched all six numbers was purchased in the Northern California city of Milpitas, said California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso.
He told The Times final results would not be available until late Wednesday night.
The winning Powerball numbers announced Wednesday night were 17, 49, 54, 35 and 1, and the Powerball was 34, according to the Multi-State Lottery Assn.
The $400-million jackpot was the sixth-largest in U.S. lottery history, and the odds of winning it were about 1 in 175 million, officials said.
