    A Powerball ticket sold in California won $2.3 million but just missed the $337 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

    The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball, in the drawing Wednesday, Oct. 9, the national Powerball site said.

    Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $364 million, with a cash value of $179 million, for the next drawing Saturday, Oct. 12.

    The winning numbers were 25, 32. 43. 53 and 66, with a Powerball of 10, the lottery said. The Power Play was 3.

    The winning California ticket was sold at Primm Valley Lotto in Nipton near the Nevada state line, about a 65-mile drive south from Las Vegas, the California Lottery said.

    One California player hit four winning numbers plus the Powerball for a $42,000 prize, lottery officials said.

    California adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.

    A player in Pennsylvania also hit five winning numbers but not the Powerball for a $1 million prize.

    Nearly 550,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

    The Powerball jackpot has gone unclaimed since Aug. 19, when a California player won the $44 million grand prize, lottery officials said.

    What to know about Powerball

    To score a jackpot in the Powerball , a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

    The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

    Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

    Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online .

    Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

    If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
