$1M Powerball ticket sold at Milpitas 7-Eleven store

Powerball Fever has regular people; non-profits dreaming of big payday

Powerball fever has gripped the country and Bay Area. Due to several weeks of misses, Wednesday?s jackpot drawing sits at $1.2 billion. A steady stream of would-be billionaires came and went all day at Ernie?s Liquors in East San Jose. But one person?in particular hoped a local beats the odds and wins big.

There weren't any winners who hit the $1.2 billion Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night's drawing, but a ticket purchased in the South Bay matched the first five numbers and won $1 million, according to the California Lottery.

A ticket sold at a 7-Eleven store on Milmont Drive in Milpitas was one of two $1 million tickets sold in the state. The other was in Ontario, in Southern California.

The winning numbers were 2, 11, 22, 35, 60 and the Powerball number was 23.
