Jackpot! $1.72B Powerball ticket sold in California
The winning ticket for the second-largest lottery jackpot in American history was purchased in California.
A ticket in Arizona and another in Pennsylvania matched all 5 white balls and purchased the Power Play option, which is good for a $2 million prize.
$1 million-winning tickets were also purchased in New York, Oklahoma, Virginia, California (2) and Florida (2).
Just because you didn't win the big prize doesn't mean you should just throw out your tickets.

8 of those tickets won $100,000, matching 4 of the 5 white numbers and the Powerball with the Power Play option.
