A Powerball lottery player from Anaheim scoops a big jackpot recently

A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number in Monday evening's drawing of the multi-state lottery, was sold at a doughnut store in Anaheim and is worth $2,085,363, the California Lottery announced.

Powerball tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or $2 million, but California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners and can be less or more than $1 million. 

There were four other tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball, lottery officials said Monday.

The ones sold in Colorado and Georgia are each worth $2 million because the players utilized the Power Play option, where for an additional $1 per play, a ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, is worth $2 million.
