A Powerball ticket sold in California won $164,525, narrowly missing out on the $102 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, May 22, the California Lottery said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $120 million, with a cash value of $56 million, for the next drawing Saturday, May 25, according to the national Powerball site.
The winning numbers were 5, 16, 18, 26 and 67, with a Powerball of 4.
The $164,525 ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Lynwood, which is about a 15-mile drive south from Los Angeles.
California adjusts Powerball prizes based on the number of tickets sold and winners.
More than 42,000 other Powerball tickets sold in California also won prizes ranging from $4 to more than $20,000, the state lottery said.
