The Brief

LOS ANGELES - As the nation awaits the winner of the now-$1.7 billion Powerball lottery jackpot , someone in California may be $980,000 richer.

What we know:

According to California Lottery's website on Wednesday night, two tickets worth $984,594 were sold within the state. One ticket was sold at an Albertsons on Highway 58 in Bakersfield while the second ticket worth the same amount was sold at a State Bros grocery store on Arlington Avenue in Riverside.

This comes as a drawing was held for the then-jackpot of $1.4 billion. Below were the winning numbers for the Sept. 3 drawing – which apparently no one got all six numbers:

3, 16, 29, 61, 69. PB: 22

The drawing for the grand ol' $1.7 billion jackpot will be held on Saturday, September 6 at 8 p.m. PT.
