Powerball players win millions across the US. Where were the lucky tickets sold?

Powerball players in New Jersey, New York and Ohio won $1 million each, just missing the $451 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

A ticket sold in California, which adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners, won $700,000. The lucky ticket was sold in Isleton, which is about a 40-mile drive southwest from Sacramento, officials said.

The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, Aug. 6, the national Powerball site said.

The lucky New York ticket was sold at Diamond News in New York City, the New York Lottery said. The New Jersey and Ohio lotteries did not say where the winning tickets there were sold.

The winning numbers were 15, 27, 43, 45 and 53 with a Powerball of 9. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

Powerball jackpot rises

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $482 million, with a cash value of about $218.9 million, for the next drawing Saturday, Aug. 9, the national Powerball site said.

More than 610,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was last won May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.
