Two other tickets -- one each sold in Connecticut and Florida -- also had five numbers, but didn't have the Powerball number and are each worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, announced.

California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.

The numbers drawn tonight were 9, 19, 31, 56, 59 and the Powerball number was 2. The estimated jackpot was $116 million.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 175,223,510, according to the Powerball website. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 31.85.

The Powerball game is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
