LA Gas Station Sells $809K-Winning Powerball Ticket as Jackpot Hits $748 Million
The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $748 million after no one matched all six numbers in Saturday night's drawing. The Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, reported that there were three tickets sold with five numbers but missing the Powerball number, each worth $809,204.
One of these winning tickets was purchased at a Chevron gas station located at 11961 W. Olympic Blvd in Sawtelle, Los Angeles. The numbers drawn on Saturday were 6, 17, 27, 48, and 50, with the Powerball number being 5.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number are extremely low at 1 in 292.2 million. However, the overall chance of winning a prize is slightly higher at 1 in 24.9.
