In California, the closest anybody got was four numbers plus the Powerball, worth $18,887, the state lottery agency said. Across the U.S., two people won $2 million with five numbers and the Power Play — an option offered by some states — and six matched five numbers for $1 million.
The jackpot was last won on Sept. 6, when it was $1.787 billion, the second-largest ever for Powerball. The record prize was $2.04 billion in November 2022, with one winning ticket purchased at a gas station in Altadena.
Powerball draws are Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Mega Millions, with draws on Tuesday and Friday, currently has a jackpot of $90 million.
