$564 Million Powerball Jackpot Numbers Picked, Ticket Matching 5 Numbers Sold In San Leandro
SAN LEANDRO (CBS SF) -- Someone may be $1.4 million richer after buying a winning ticket at a market in San Leandro that matched five numbers in Wednesday's Powerball
drawing, California Lottery officials said.
The winner of the $2 ticket sold at Pop Top Market & Liquor at 14817 E. 14th St. has not yet claimed the prize. The winning numbers are 11, 13, 25, 39 and 54. The Powerball number, which the ticket did not match, is 19. The other tickets were sold in Mono County and Orange County.
The winner has 180 days from Wednesday to claim the prize. No one in California hit the jackpot in the multi-state game, but jackpot-winning tickets were sold in North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rico.
Each of those winners will share in the $564.1 million prize, the fifth-largest jackpot in U.S. history.
Owners of Pop Top Market & Liquor and two other California lottery retailers will receive a $7,000 bonus for selling tickets that matched five numbers in Wednesday's drawing.
"I was like, no, they're lying, they're lying, just making a fool of me. And they said, 'No, check the news. Your store name is there,'" said Aman Singh, the owner of Pop Top Market & Liquor. "I was so excited."
Powerball is played in 44 states including California, and the District of Columbia.
Lottery officials encourage the winners to sign the back of their tickets and go to the nearest California Lottery district office. An East Bay office is located in Hayward at 2489 Industrial Parkway W.
