A winning ticket for Wednesday’s record $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot was sold at a 7-Eleven in Chino Hills, Calif.
“We have a winner in California! A jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Chino Hills. We’re still awaiting results from other states,” the California Lottery tweeted at 11:13 p.m. EST.
The identity of the winner is not yet known. It could be hours before it is known if additional winning tickets were sold elsewhere.
The 7-Eleven store where the winner bought the ticket will get a $1 million bonus for selling it, said California Lottery spokesman Alex Travesta.
The winning numbers were 4-8-19-27-34, with a Powerball of 10.
The odds of winning were approximately 1 in 292 million.
