Powerball winner in Lake Elsinore was one away from the big prize. Here’s how much they won

LA Times  

Powerball had no big winner, but someone who bought a ticket in Lake Elsinore hit all numbers but the Powerball. A Powerball winner who purchased their ticket in Lake Elsinore narrowly missed the grand prize of $437 million in Saturday’s drawing. Each of the winners purchased their ticket for 2 bucks, and the odds of winning the big prize are exceedingly slim: 1 in 292.2 million. The director of the Mega Millions Consortium recently told The Times that the adjusted odds of winning Mega Millions will now be better than those for winning Powerball.
