A Powerball ticket sold in San Gabriel matched four numbers and the Powerball in the Monday, July 20 drawing, giving the buyer a prize worth $37,000. The ticket was purchased at Amplify, at 1935 S. Del Mar Ave., after the draw produced the Powerball numbers 2, 9, 44, 53 and 59, with an 8 as the red ball.
The result matters now because the next drawing is set for Wednesday, July 22, and the jackpot has already rolled to an estimated $567 million after no ticket matched all six numbers. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and a player has to match all five white balls plus the red Powerball to take the grand prize.
That San Gabriel ticket was one of nearly 570,000 winning tickets nationwide, with prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000. More than 72,000 winning tickets were sold in California alone, while players in Colorado and Michigan matched all five numbers to win $1 million each.
The $37,000 prize sits in a small but important corner of the game’s math. Matching four white balls and the Powerball is enough to turn a modest ticket into a mid-tier win, and the 2x Power Play multiplier was part of the drawing, even though it did not affect the jackpot result. The odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 292,201,338, which is why even one local winner can be news when the larger pot keeps climbing.
What remains unanswered is whether the San Gabriel winner has already come forward. The identity of the buyer has not been released, and it is still unknown whether the prize money has been claimed. For now, the ticket stands as California’s latest reminder that a single play can miss the jackpot by one number and still leave someone holding a checkable win.
The next chance comes on Wednesday, July 22, with the jackpot now at $567 million and the Powerball numbers from Monday already fixed in place.
