$207 million Powerball jackpot ticket sold in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES - Feeling lucky? The highly-anticipated $207 million Powerball jackpot winner is reportedly in Los Angeles.
What we know
According to California Lottery's website late Saturday night, the jackpot-winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven at 8960 Woodman Avenue in Arleta.
This comes as a drawing was held for the then-jackpot of $207 million. Below were the winning numbers for the May 31 drawing:
1, 29, 37, 56, 68. PB: 13
The drawing for the now-reset jackpot – which is $20 million – will be held on Monday, June 2 at 8 p.m. PT.
There are $20 million of reasons to dream, especially what you would do with the jackpot money. However, one thing all lottery winners have to take into account is the fact that their prizes will be taxed.
So how much do you really get after taxes?
It depends on a couple of factors: do you have to pay state taxes where you live? Will you take the lump sum payment or the annuity payout?
According to Mega Millions' website, those electing to take the annuity option get one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. Powerball follows an identical process for paying out its jackpot winners.

'Saturday Night Live' just came off of its most-watched season in three years. Season 50 hit an average of 8.1 million viewers according to Live + 7 data from Nielsen, meaning that seven days of viewing per episode were accounted for. That marks an increase of 12% compared to Season 49, in addition to representing the highest average since Season 47, which aired from the fall of 2021 to the spring of 2022. More from Variety Andrea Mitchell on Rebuilding Faith in the News Media: 'Trust Is the Coin of the Realm, and We Have to Be the Gold Standard' 'SNL': Kanye West Parodied, Says 'I'm in the KKK Now' in Wild Sketch With Mike Myers Trump Heads to the Middle East, Falls in Love With Saudi Crown Prince in 'SNL' Cold Open: 'I Love the Arabs! Get Me to Allah's Country!' This season's average is especially impressive when considering that it does not account for the massive viewership of 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special,' which aired on Feb. 16 to 14.8 million viewers. That total increased to 22.8 million after 35 days of viewing across platforms, NBCUniversal reports. Among adults ages 18-49, 'SNL' was the No. 1 broadcast series of the 2024-2025 season, excluding sports and news programming, and the No. 1 broadcast or cable comedy for the sixth season running. Additionally, 'SNL' finds a significant portion of its audience on social media, where Season 50 and the anniversary special reached a total of 7.7 billion views according to NBCUniversal. The Oct. 12 episode, which was headlined by Ariana Grande and Stevie Nicks, was the most-watched on social with 712 million views. 'Domingo: Bridesmaid Speech,' which was part of Grande and Nicks' episode, was the most-watched sketch on social with 171 million views 'To see the show honor its legacy while still pushing boundaries was incredible. The strong ratings this season are a testament to how deeply 'SNL' continues to resonate with audiences,' said Katie Hockmeyer, executive vice president of late night at NBCUniversal Entertainment.
