Excitement and anticipation swept through Los Angeles on Wednesday night as one fortunate winner clinched the staggering $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot. The winner will be able to choose either a lump sum payment of $558.1 million or an annuity for the $1.08 billion.
According to California Lottery spokesperson Carolyn Becker, the Powerball winner has a whole year to claim this life-changing prize. Speaking at a news conference, Becker highlighted the importance of verifying the winner’s identity diligently to ensure that the rightful person receives the grand prize.
Powerball winning numbers
The winning powerball numbers that turned an ordinary ticket into a golden ticket were 7, 10, 11, 13, and 24, with a Powerball of 24. The ticket was purchased at the Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown Los Angeles.
Did anyone win the Powerball?
The lucky winner could hail from anywhere, even beyond California’s borders. Unlike some lotteries, eligibility isn’t restricted to U.S. residents, extending the chance for the life-altering prize to reach people from anywhere. As Becker mentioned, the winner could be a local resident, a group of friends, or even a traveler passing through the city.
While the mystery winner takes their time to claim the astonishing prize, the store that sold the ticket is already experiencing its own serendipity. The Las Palmitas Mini Market’s ownership is celebrating a momentous win of their own – a bonus check worth a staggering one million dollars! It’s a heartwarming reminder of how dreams come true not just for individuals but also for those who played a role in making it happen. Angelica Menjivar, the daughter of the store owner, joyfully expressed their happiness regarding the bonus.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
The Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee conducts drawings thrice a week. The Powerball drawing days are Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET.
The next Powerball drawing will be held on Wednesday, 26 July, 2023.
