LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - A California Powerball player narrowly missed a massive jackpot in the Monday, July 20 drawing, falling just one number short of the $544 million grand prize.

Players in Colorado and Michigan matched all five numbers to win $1 million each.
Nationwide, nearly 570,000 tickets won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, including more than 72,000 winning tickets in California alone.
