Someone in California is waking up a millionaire this week. A Powerball ticket worth $1.2 million was sold in Daly City, according to the California Lottery. The ticket matched five numbers in the latest draw but missed the Powerball number needed to win the grand jackpot.

Edwin Castro of Altadena, California, who won $2.04 billion Powerball lottery Nov. 7, 2022, opted for the lump sum, which was just shy of $1 billion.

About 428,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
