Powerball Ticket Worth $987,439 Sold In Bay Area

BAY AREA — One lucky Powerball player is holding a ticket worth $987,439. The ticket matched the first five numbers drawn Wednesday night, only missing the Powerball.

The ticket was bought at Buddies Market on Chenery Street in San Francisco, in the Glen Park neighborhood.

The winning numbers are:

• 23
• 34
• 37
• 50
• 58
• 7 (Powerball)

No one won the multi-state jackpot. Saturday's drawing will be worth an estimated $171 million. The jackpot for Saturday's California-only SuperLotto Plus drawing is $10 million. If you are looking for mega-riches, the multi-state Mega Millions jackpot on Friday is an estimated $358 million.

If you win, the federal government will take a 24 percent cut of any prize worth $5,000 or more. Most jackpot winners take the lump sum — and they immediately see fewer dollars flow into their bank accounts when the prize is paid out.

If the prize were paid out in an annuity spread over decades, the IRS would claim 24 percent before each payment went out.

California is one of just eight states that do not tax lottery winnings. The others are Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
