Lone winning $400-million Powerball ticket sold in South Carolina
There was one jackpot winner in Wednesday night’s nearly $400-million Powerball drawing, and they’re on the other side of the country.
The winning ticket for the $399,400,000 grand prize was purchased in South Carolina. The winning numbers were 7-10-22-32-35 with a Powerball of 19.
But there was at least two Californians who will cash in big on the game because they’re among the few who matched five numbers, but not the Powerball.
Game officials said one winner in Riverside and one in Los Angeles will split a little more than $1.7 million.
Wednesday’s prize was the third-largest this year and the fifth-largest in U.S. lottery history.
The drawing came less than six weeks after a $425-million Powerball jackpot had Southern Californians rushing to convenience stores to purchase tickets.
The next drawing is Saturday night, but so far there’s a relatively paltry $40-million jackpot.
