Winning Powerball ticket sold at South Lake Tahoe 7-Eleven
While a $1 billion Powerball jackpot ticket was Southern California, they are not the only winners. One of the other top winning tickets that matched five numbers was sold at a 7-Eleven at 2620 South Lake Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe. That prize comes in at $448,750. “Seven tickets in the state of California that matched the first five numbers. They shared a secondary jackpot that was about 3.1 million, so when you split it seven ways, it’s about half a million for each of those ticket holders,” Carolyn Becker, California Lottery spokesperson. According to California Official Payouts, the Jackpot Lottery is not based on California sales and other payouts. . “We never know how these sales will shake out until drawing night,”[ads1]; Becker said. Someone in South Lake Tahoe now wishes they would have tried their luck.”This is like three blocks from my house. I should have been in here and bought a Powerball ticket,” Ashlee Cooper said. Even if it’s not the big jackpot, it’s still a lot of money. “I’d buy all my brothers and family a nice home. I’d take a trip around the world,” Larry Ellis said. The winning ticket holder has yet to claim their prize and they have six months to do so.
