Escondido Powerball Ticket Nets $1.53M

A Powerball ticket with five numbers (but missing the Powerball) sold at an Escondido gas station won $1,532,761. No ticket matched all six numbers, so Monday’s estimated jackpot climbs to $203 million. The Saturday numbers were 27, 28, 36, 48, 49 with Powerball 21. Odds of hitting five plus Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million (overall prize odds about 1 in 24.9). California payouts for major prizes are pari-mutuel by sales and winners; draw details reflect that system.

A man named Faramarz Lahijani is suing the California Lottery, claiming he purchased both winning tickets for the $394 million Mega Millions prize in December 2023 but only received half of the winnings.
