Sun Valley, Los Angeles – A lucky lottery player is celebrating after discovering that their Powerball ticket purchased at a 7-Eleven in the San Fernando Valley is worth nearly $2.5 million, as reported by the California Lottery.
The winning ticket, valued at $2,462,356, was sold at the 7-Eleven store on Roscoe Blvd. in Sun Valley. Despite the substantial win, no individual managed to match all six numbers in the recent Powerball drawing, resulting in the jackpot soaring to an estimated $800 million.
The specific numbers drawn for the latest Powerball game were 6, 23, 25, 34, 51, with 3 as the Powerball. Alongside the fortunate individual from Sun Valley, tickets from Indiana, Texas, Washington, and Florida also matched five numbers but missed out on the Powerball.
