Billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket sold in SoCal — again

Los Angeles had another billion-dollar Powerball winner after Wednesday night’s drawing — the third such win in the past year.

The ticket bearing the winning numbers — 22, 24, 40, 52, 64 and the Powerball is 10 — was sold at Midway Market & Liquor, located at 6032 Frazier Mountain Park Road in Frazier Park.

The jackpot is the second largest in lottery history, right behind the jackpot $2.04 billion Written by Los Angeles man Edwin Castro in November 2022.

Before winning, 33 consecutive drawings had been completed without a big winner.

This drawing also marks the first time in Powerball history that three consecutive jackpots have reached the $1 billion mark, according to Powerball officials.

Now, the lucky player will be left with two options, either a lump sum of approximately $756 million, or an annuity that will be paid over approximately 30 years.

• Atlantic Wine & Spirit is located at 504 S. Atlantic Boulevard in Monterey Park.

The chances of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
