SAN FRANCISCO — A lottery ticket purchased at a Lower Nob Hill convenience store is now worth $1.3 million, after one lucky winner matched all five numbers drawn Saturday night — only one Powerball shy of the whopping $1.4 billion jackpot.
The odds of pulling that “5/5” ticket were roughly 1 in 11.6 million, according to California lottery officials.
The winning numbers pulled in Saturday’s draw were 47, 54, 57, 60 and 65, with a Powerball of 19.
California lottery officials said the ticket now worth $1.3 million was sold at the Town & Country Market at 600 Post St. in San Francisco — the lone five-number winner in the state.
More than 603,000 other winning tickets were tallied Saturday night, including ten that are now worth $33,579 after matching four of the numbers drawn.
Ahead of the next drawing Monday night, the jackpot is expected to grow to an estimated $1.55 billion.
