7 winning Powerball tickets sold in Colorado
DENVER (KDVR) — While no one in Colorado won the Powerball jackpot — that $1.08 billion victory went to someone in California — locals still won big.
The winning numbers for Wednesday night’s drawing were: white balls 7, 10, 11, 13, 24 and red Powerball 24. The California Lottery said the jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Los Angeles at Las Palmitas Mini Market.
Elsewhere in the country, 36 $1 million-winning tickets and three $2 million-winning tickets were sold. While none of those were in Colorado, winners here still lucked out for a total of $350,000.

Castle Rock: Two $50,000 tickets as 138559 King Soopers
Two $50,000 tickets as 138559 King Soopers Colorado Springs: Two $50,000 tickets at 48364 Loaf ‘N Jug #41

One $50,000 ticket at 103172 Loaf ‘N Jug #81 Pueblo: One $50,000 ticket at Winners Corner (Jackpocket)
The game’s abysmal odds of 1 in 292.2 million are designed to build big prizes that draw more players. The largest Powerball jackpot was $2.04 billion Powerball in November.
The last time someone had won the Powerball jackpot was April 19 for a top prize of nearly $253 million. Since then, no one had won the grand prize.
If you weren’t lucky enough to win the Powerball jackpot, you still have a chance at a record-setting Mega Millions jackpot. Currently estimated at $720 million, the pot ranks as one of the largest in Mega Millions history. The next drawing for that game is Friday at 11 p.m. ET.
