(Reuters) - One ticket sold in California matched all the winning numbers drawn on Saturday for the Powerball jackpot that soared to an estimated $448.7 million on a surge of last-minute buying, lottery officials said. Lottery officials said one ticket, purchased in Sun City, California, matched all the numbers for the grand prize. The lump sum payout for the winning ticket would be $279.1 million. The last Powerball drawing to produce a jackpot winner was on April 1, said California Lottery spokesman Mike Bond. Powerball’s jackpot hit a record $1.6 billion in January 2016, when three winning tickets were sold in Florida, California and Tennessee.
