CNN —A ticket sold in California has won the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night’s drawing – among the largest in the game’s history, according to Powerball’s website.
The ticket was sold at Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown Los Angeles, according to the California Lottery.
Wednesday’s prize ranks as the seventh largest US lottery jackpot and third largest Powerball jackpot, behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year in California, and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016, according to the lottery.
Though a single ticket won the jackpot, players are being advised to check their tickets on the chance they won one of the other prizes.
“Congratulations to our newest Powerball jackpot winner and the California Lottery!” said Drew Svitko, Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director.
