California Powerball Winners Take Six-Figure Prizes as Jackpot Climbs to $748 Million

Three California tickets matched five numbers but not the Powerball in Saturday’s drawing, each winning $809,204; the winning tickets were sold at a Shell in Pleasanton (6750 Santa Rita Rd), a Chevron in Los Angeles (11951 W. Olympic Blvd), and La Buena Market in Reedley (221 E. Helen Ave). The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $748 million (cash value about $325 million) for the next drawing on Aug. 3, with more than 1.3 million other US tickets winning prizes and more than 160,000 in California. The numbers drawn were 6, 17, 27, 48, 50 and Powerball 5, with a Power Play of 3x. If gambling is affecting you, resources are available from the National Council on Problem Gambling.
