A Powerball ticket worth $122,105 was sold in Hawthorne, California, according to the California Lottery. The ticket, which matched four of the winning numbers in the May 4 drawing, was purchased at Bluebird Liquor on Hawthorne Boulevard, the lottery’s website showed Monday night.
The winning white-ball numbers for the May 4 drawing were 30, 36, 42, 60 and 63, with Powerball 13. No ticket matched all six numbers to claim the then-advertised $20 million jackpot, leaving the top prize to roll into the next drawing. The next Powerball drawing, with an advertised jackpot of $30 million, is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6 at 8 p.m. PT.
The California Lottery lists the Hawthorne ticket’s prize at $122,105. Prize amounts for non-jackpot wins can vary depending on factors such as multipliers, the option chosen and the number of winners; the lottery’s official website provides winners with specific award and claim instructions. Small retailers occasionally make headlines after selling large-winning tickets, bringing a one-time boost in attention to neighborhood outlets that sell lottery tickets.

Lottery winners must also consider tax implications and payout formats. Powerball offers a choice between an annuity, which pays the advertised jackpot in one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, and a lump-sum cash option; federal income tax applies to lottery prizes, and many states — including California in some cases — may also impose state taxes. The amount a winner ultimately receives depends on the payout choice and tax withholdings.
