A Powerball ticket sold at a Los Angeles gas station turned into a major win after Saturday night's drawing ended without a jackpot winner. Because no ticket matched all six numbers, the top prize rolled over again, pushing the estimated jackpot for Monday's drawing to $748 million.
Even without the grand prize being claimed, one player in Los Angeles still scored a sizable payout. The ticket sold at the gas station was worth about $809,000, giving the city a notable winner as the national lottery prize continues to climb.
The latest rollover adds to the growing attention around the multi-state Powerball game, where jackpots can swell quickly when drawings pass without a top winner. Smaller prize wins like the one reported in Los Angeles often stand out during these stretches, especially when a local store sells a ticket worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
With the jackpot now nearing three-quarters of a billion dollars, Monday's drawing is set to bring even more interest. At the same time, the Los Angeles gas station ticket shows that even on a night without a jackpot winner, substantial prizes are still being paid out.
