A winning ticket in Wednesday’s $1 billion Powerball jackpot was sold in California.

The numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were 7-10-11-13-24 with a Powerball of 24.

The winning ticket was sold at Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown Los Angeles, according to California Lottery's website.

The jackpot had been estimated at $1 billion but was $1.08 billion when the drawing occurred Wednesday night, game officials said. If whoever won decides to take the lump sum, it will be $558.1 million before taxes.

Powerball passed the estimated $1 billion jackpot mark for only the third time in the game's history after no one won in Monday night’s drawing, officials said. The game began in 1992.
