A Powerball ticket purchased at a gas station in Moorpark has turned out to be a significant winner, valued at $812,200, as confirmed by California Lottery officials. The winning ticket was sold at the ARCO/AMPM located at 50 W. Los Angeles Ave., near South Moorpark Avenue.
The fortunate ticket holder successfully matched all five numbers drawn but did not match the Powerball number itself. For the drawing on Saturday, January 11, the winning numbers were 5, 19, 21, 28, and 65, with the Powerball number being 14. Since no one was able to match all six numbers in that drawing, the jackpot for Monday’s drawing surged to an impressive $137 million.
As the week progresses, California Lottery officials announced that the lack of winners for all six numbers resulted in an upgraded jackpot estimate of $156 million for Wednesday’s drawing. The numbers drawn on Monday night were 5, 27, 45, 56, 59, with a Powerball number of 4.
Powerball drawings occur three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 7:59 p.m. The odds of winning the grand prize by matching all five numbers and the Powerball number are 1 in 292.2 million, while the overall chances of winning any prize stand at 1 in 24.9. This latest series of drawings showcases the excitement and potential rewards of the Powerball lottery, keeping players hopeful for their chance at a life-changing win.
