$425M Powerball Goes to Sole Winner

Milipitas is a small city about 10 miles north of San Jose, Calif., and one of its residents—or someone who shopped there—can probably now afford to buy a big chunk of it. State lottery officials say the winning ticket for the last night's $425 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a gas station in the city, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. The sole winner beat the 1 in 175 million odds to match the numbers 1, 17, 35, 49, and 54, plus the Powerball No. 34, but there is no word on his or her identity yet, the AP reports. The Chevron store will receive a $1 million bonus for selling the ticket, which won one of the largest lottery jackpots in American history.
