Three California Powerball tickets miss the jackpot but still win big

Three Powerball tickets sold in California netted their purchasers just over $30,000 each after matching nearly all of the numbers.

According to the California Lottery, the winning numbers from Monday night’s drawing were 8, 9, 11, 27 and 31, with Powerball 17. The jackpot was $163 million, but no one matched all numbers.

If the Mega Millions jackpot goes unclaimed, who gets the funds?

However, three tickets in California matched four of the six numbers, with each ticket winning $30,858.

Powerball tickets sold in Arkansas, Texas and Virginia won at least $1 million.

Since nobody won the jackpot, this prize increased to an estimated $176 million for Wednesday night’s drawing.
