Also, six other tickets sold in California matched four of the six numbers, which meant they won almost $23,000. In Southern California over the last few months, a number of people have won millions of dollars in the lotto.

A $23 million SuperLotto Plus ticket was bought in Northridge in December. A $2.9 million Mega Millions ticket matching five of the six numbers was sold in Sawtelle just a few days before that win. A little over a week before that, two winning tickets at a Chevron station in Encino matched all six numbers in the drawing and won $394 million.

Lottery officials said that 2023 was "highly unusual" for Mega Millions. Ten awards were won in one year for the first time in ten years. With a prize of $20 million, the next Powerball drawing will take place on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
