Powerball player wins $78,000 in California. Where was the lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball ticket sold in California won $78,194, just missing the $101 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, Sept. 20, the California Lottery site said.

California adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Vons grocery store in San Diego, lottery officials said in an email to McClatchy News.

The winning numbers were 15, 29, 64, 66 and 67 with a Powerball of 4. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

Powerball jackpot resets

Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $113 million, with a cash value of about $52.5 million, for the next drawing Monday, Sept. 22, the national Powerball site said.

More than 560,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was last won Sept. 6, when players in Missouri and Texas split the $1.787 billion grand prize.
