  For a total of $2,469,064. Unlike other states, it's not a flat 1 million, which I would prefer.  In Calif, it starts at about 100-200k depending on sales and rolls over at about 100k or less each game.   When it does get to be this high, it makes the price and odds of the PB a little more palatable in that even if you dont win the jackpot, you have a crack at the second prize.  But, congrats to some lucky person in Long Beach.

  Powerball: There was no jackpot winner in the Wednesday, April 5, 2017 Powerball drawing, but 2 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: 1 from California and 1 from Pennsylvania.
  
  California Payout=$2,469,064
  
  Pennsylvania Payout=$1,000,000

  I knew it. If there are zero tickets hit five numbers without the bonus ball, that jackpot in California continues to rolls over until at least one ticket hits!

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

  I'm sorry it wasnt you, ressuccess.   I wanted to win the jackpot even knowing that a back to back win would cause jj to stroke out. I could live quite comfortably on the post tax amount of $14 + million.

  Here is something also.   Two winning tickets.  How do you know it was two different people maybe it was a group of people?
