A Powerball ticket worth nearly $1.5 million was sold in Hollywood, narrowly missing the jackpot in Monday night’s drawing. The winning ticket matched five of the six numbers drawn: 6, 37, 54, 55, and 64. However, it did not match the Powerball number, which was 10. The lucky ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven store on Santa Monica Boulevard. The ticket holder will receive a substantial prize for matching the five white-ball numbers, but the jackpot remains unclaimed. No player matched all six numbers in Monday’s drawing, pushing the estimated Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night to $975 million. Lottery officials say the jackpot will continue growing until someone matches all five white-ball numbers along with the Powerball. The winner of the Hollywood ticket has not yet been identified, and the ticket holder will need to claim the prize through the California Lottery. Players are encouraged to check their tickets carefully.
