The Powerball jackpot-winning ticket worth $1.76 billion, the game’s second-largest prize, was sold in California Wednesday night.
The winning numbers were 22, 24, 40, 52, 64, and the red Powerball 10.
The life-changing ticket was sold at Midway Market & Liquors in Frazier Park, Calif., located 75 miles north of Los Angeles.
The new billionaire is believed to be a local Frazier Park resident who visits the store every day to “religiously” play the lottery.
