California Player Wins the Powerball Jackpot Again!

This is already the fourth Powerball jackpot of the year, and the second time it has been won in California! The first was on March 29 where a total of $526.5 million went to the Golden State.

A month later, on April 26, the top prize of $167.3 million was won by a Kentucky player. The jackpot has kept rolling over since then until it was finally won on the weekend. We’re now on a three month streak of Powerball wins - could it carry on in June?

Saturday’s Powerball Draw Breakdown 

The winning numbers for this draw were 56, 37, 29, 1, 68 and the Powerball of 13. The Power Play came out as 2x so anyone who added this would have the prize doubled!

While only one player won the grand prize, a lot was paid out across the states on Saturday. There were a total of 586,832 winners so make sure to use our ticket checker to ensure you haven’t missed out on any winnings! 

The most significant non-jackpot winners were the two players from Florida and New Hampshire who matched five of the main numbers. Both players added the Power Play to double their initial $1 million prize to $2 million! 

There were also nine players who managed to match four plus the Powerball to achieve 50,000 each! Go to our draw breakdown if you want to see how many winners there were in each prize category.

California Powerball Winner 

Soon after the draw took place, we found out that the winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven on Woodman Avenue in Arleta, southern CA! The retailer will now get $1 million for providing the lucky winning ticket! 

The winner now has to make the choice of one large cash payout of $91.6 million, or the annuity payment of $204.5 million over the next 29 years (both before tax). Most winners choose the cash option, presumably for an immediate access to funds and more opportunities to invest! 

Throughout Powerball’s history there have been a total of 17 winners in California - the largest ever jackpot coming in 2022 when Edwin Castro won $2.04 billion! You can see a full list of wins from each state by going to our winners page!

The prize for the next draw has now reset to $20 million. Draws take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET and you can get involved in the next one by playing online if it is available to you or going to a local retailer
