A winning $240,000 Powerball lottery ticket is sold out in Santa Monica
A Powerball lottery ticket with five numbers excluding the Power number was sold in Santa Monica, the California Lottery announced at last night's drawing.
The winning ticket, now worth $239,862, was sold at M & A Tobacco at 1803 Lincoln Blvd Suite D in Santa Monica. Wednesday night's ticket matched numbers 16-21-29-53-66 and was missing the Power number 2.
There was no jackpot winner in any state for this draw, so the estimated jackpot for Friday's drawing will grow to an estimated $308 million.
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.
The drawing was the 21st since a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
