$1,205,860 Powerball Lottery Ticket Sold At RivCo Gas Station

BLYTHE, CA — A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, in Saturday evening's multi-state Powerball lottery drawing was sold at a gas station in Blythe and worth $1,205,860.

California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.

Three other tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, were also sold. The one sold in Maryland is worth $2 million because the player utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.

There was also one ticket each sold in Arizona and Florida with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number. They are both worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, announced.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers and the estimated jackpot for Monday's drawing is expected to grow to $522 million.

The numbers drawn Saturday were 6, 12, 39, 48, 50 and the Powerball number was 7. The jackpot was $500 million.

The drawing was the 38th since a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in about 293 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.87.

The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
