A big $5.4 million Powerball lottery ticket is sold out in Burbank
A Powerball lottery ticket worth $5.4 million was sold at a liquor store in Burbank, Saturday's drawing revealed. A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, was drawn in the LA County city.
Tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth either $1 million or $2 million, but California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, which can be both less and more than $1 million.
There were three other tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
The one sold in Michigan is worth $2 million, because the player utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.
