Two Bay Area lottery players missed the $1 billion Powerball jackpot by one number but still came away with seven-figure winnings in Saturday night’s draw, according to the California Lottery.
By matching the first five numbers, Powerball tickets sold in Milpitas and Pleasant Hill each are worth $1.16 million. The Milpitas ticket came from a 7-Eleven at 1771 Clearlake Ave., and the Pleasant Hill ticket came from a Mobil gas station at 1616 Oak Park Blvd., the lottery said.
