MILPITAS — No one in the state won the Powerball lottery game jackpot of $185 million Wednesday night, but someone playing the game at a South Bay convenience store is $621,419 richer, officials said.
That person, who has yet to be identified, is the only one statewide to pick all five regular numbers. They did not select the Power number.
The winning numbers were 8, 44, 45, 51 and 69 and the Power number was 12.
The ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven store, 1496 N. Milpitas Blvd.
The store could not immediately be reached for comment.
The winner has 180 days from the draw to claim their prize.
Powerball is played Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights.
Saturday’s total jackpot will be at least $206 million, officials said.
