Close Call on Powerball Jackpot | Fresno News

A California ticket came agonizingly close to the $199 million Powerball jackpot—missing just one number to claim the top prize—but still walked away with $673,000. The winning numbers were 18, 56, 62, 65, 67—with 18 as the Powerball—and a 2x multiplier. Over 560,000 tickets nationwide hit some prize, including nearly 60,000 in California. With odds of 1 in 292 million, it’s a reminder that while dreams are big, the reality is rare. The last billion-dollar winner was in Illinois back in August. The jackpot’s reset and climbing again—drawings every Monday, Wednesday, Saturday—in 45 states and territories. And if gambling ever feels out of control, help is available through the national gambling hotline. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
