Thursday, January 4, 2018
ONTARIO, Calif. (KABC) -- There were no tickets with all six numbers in the latest Powerball lottery, but a ticket with five numbers -- worth $3,264,394 -- was sold in Ontario!

The ticket, which was missing the Powerball number, was sold at a gas station on E. Holt Boulevard, Powerball officials said.

The manager of the Shell gas station said she has worked there for 26 years, and she's never seen such a big winner from her shop.

The numbers drawn Wednesday were 2, 18, 37, 39, 42 and the Powerball number was 12. The estimated jackpot was $460 million.

Saturday's Powerball jackpot will grow to an estimated $550 million. It is the biggest Powerball jackpot since the more than $750 million lottery win last August.

Wednesday's drawing was the 20th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The Powerball isn't the only huge jackpot in town - Friday's Mega Millions is estimated at $418 million.



The chance of hitting both jackpots is one in 88 quadrillion.
