Powerball player wins $317,000 in California. Where was the lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball ticket sold in California won $317,465, just missing the $127 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, Sept. 24, the California Lottery said.

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

The lucky ticket was sold at Dat Moi Market in Gardena, which is about a 15-mile drive south from downtown Los Angeles, lottery officials said.

The winning numbers were 15, 31, 45, 49 and 53 with a Powerball of 19. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

Powerball jackpot resets

Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $145 million, with a cash value of about $67.4 million, for the next drawing Saturday, Sept. 27, the national Powerball site said.

More than 380,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

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