Lottery ticket sold in Newman matches all but Powerball number, still wins more than $1 million
A ticket nearly netted a lucky Powerball player in Stanislaus County the jackpot, but they'll still walk away with some cash.
California Lottery officials say two tickets matching five numbers were sold in California for Wednesday's drawing, one in Orange and one in Newman. The tickets got the first five numbers – 23, 27, 32, 35, 59 – right, but missed the Powerball number of 11.
Despite missing out on the $189 million jackpot of the night, lottery officials say five-match tickets are still worth $1,326,260 each.
The ticket sold in Newman was at the Arco Station at 1147 N. Street. That store will get a $6,600 bonus for selling the ticket.
Powerball drawings happen ever Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Despite unlucky 'mistake' by lottery, two players still win $100K Mass Cash prizes
Two lottery players in Massachusetts won $100,000 playing 'Mass Cash' on Thursday night despite a delay in the daily game drawing. The 'Mass Cash' drawing, scheduled for 9 p.m. on Thursday, was postponed after several numbered balls fell out of the game machine, according to Massachusetts State Lottery officials. A door had been left open on the 'Mass Cash' machine's mixing chamber, and the balls fell out prior to the first number being drawn. This made the entire 9 p.m. drawing invalid, lottery officials said. The 'Mass Cash' drawing instead happened at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday. The winning numbers for the June 5 drawing were 6, 15, 22, 28 and 30. Two winning tickets matched all five numbers drawn to win $100,000. They were sold at a Gulf gas station in Framingham and at a shop called One Stop Mart in West Springfield. 'Mass Cash' drawings usually happen at 9 p.m. every day, and tickets to play cost $1 each. Five numbers are drawn and if all five are matched on a ticket, the player wins $100,000. Four matched numbers are worth a $250 prize, and three matched numbers are worth a $10 prize. 'The Lottery is committed to ensuring the integrity of our games,' said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Mass Lottery. ' ... while we strive for perfection, we're all human and mistakes can happen. We apologize to our players for the inconvenience and appreciated their patience as we worked diligently to resolve the situation,' Bracken said. Mass.

OpenAI's marketing head takes leave to undergo breast cancer treatment
OpenAI's head of marketing, Kate Rouch, has announced she's stepping away from her role for three months while she undergoes treatment for invasive breast cancer. In a post on LinkedIn, Rouch says that Gary Briggs, Meta's former CMO, will serve as interim head of marketing during her leave. 'Earlier this year — just weeks into my dream job — I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer,' wrote Rouch. 'For the past five months, I've been undergoing chemo at UCSF while leading our marketing team. It's been the hardest season of life — for me, my husband, and our two young kids.' Rouch says her prognosis is 'excellent' and that she's expected to make a full recovery. '1 in 8 American women will get invasive breast cancer,' she wrote in her post. '42,000 die every year. Rates are rising for young women. I'm sharing my story […] to get their attention and encourage them to prioritize their health over the demands of families and jobs. A routine exam saved my life. It could save yours too.' Rouch, who previously worked with Briggs at Meta, joined OpenAI in December. She formerly was Coinbase's CMO, and before that led brand and product marketing for platforms including Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook.
