Lottery officials say one winning ticket was sold for the $758 million Powerball jackpot, but not in California.
The California Lottery reports that its sales rose by 13.5 percent in the fiscal year 2015-16. As a result, the California Lotter sent a record of more than $1.5 billion in supplemental funding to California public schools.
Over 80 percent of those funds went to K-12 education, while more than 13 percent went to community colleges.
