Not to ruin everyone’s dream of becoming a billionaire, but somebody hit the Powerball jackpot in Los Angeles County, California lottery officials said Tuesday.
So for all of us who didn’t buy the winning $2 billion ticket at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena — a gas station just north of Pasadena — we’ll have to try again next time.
After an overnight delay held up the drawing on Monday, Powerball officials announced the winning numbers Tuesday morning as 10, 33, 41, 47, 56 and another 10 as the Powerball.
Odds of winning were one in 292.2 million, according to the New York Times. Tuesday’s jackpot ended a streak of 40 straight drawings without a winner.
California officials said the ticket holder will become the state’s first lottery billionaire. The payout will be the largest in U.S. lottery history, eclipsing the $1.586 billion payout in 2016 that was split among three different winners.
