Although only one person won the $1 billion Powerball jackpot, players in these 16 states won $1 million.
California lottery players struck gold during Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing.
One lucky Golden State winner scored the Powerball’s third-ever $1 billion jackpot by matching all five numbers and the Powerball.
But seven other California players got lucky too.
They were among 36 players across 16 states who matched five numbers to win $1 million during the draw. Three other players won $2 million each with a Power Play — a prize multiplier players can purchase with their ticket for an additional dollar.
The million-dollar winners live in the following states:
California (7)
Connecticut
Florida (4)
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Massachusetts (3)
Maryland (2)
Missouri

The three $2 million prize winners live in Florida, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, according to Powerball.
