Sold Powerball worth $425M

MILPITAS, Calif. — The lone winning ticket for the $425 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a convenience store in central California, but there was no immediate word on who may have won one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history.

The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 1, 17, 35, 49, 54 and a Powerball of 34.

California lottery officials said the ticket was sold at Dixon Landing Chevron in Milpitas, a city about 10 miles north of San Jose. The business will receive $1 million for selling the winning ticket.

Rajwinder Singh, an employee at the Chevron store, said late Wednesday he believed he was probably the person who sold the winning ticket.

“I’ve been here working from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.,” he told The Associated Press. “I hope I’ll find out soon.”

Early Thursday morning, the scene was quiet with just a few customers at the 24-hour store and gas station just off Interstate 880, a region of corporate offices in the Silicon Valley area.

The ticket was the only one to match all the winning numbers, Powerball officials said late Wednesday.

The jackpot was estimated at $425.3 million, with a cash payout option of $242.2 million. It’s one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history.

Wednesday’s drawing also saw 17 tickets match enough numbers to win $1 million, and one ticket won a $2 million prize, according to a statement from Rose J. Hudson, chairman of the Powerball Game Group and President of the Louisiana Lottery.

The odds of matching all six numbers in the game are 1 in about 175 million.
