Another lucky California resident is an overnight billionaire, courtesy of the Powerball -- and it comes less than a year after another CA dweller nailed down a $2.04 billion jackpot.
Wednesday's drawing came with a $1.08 billion prize, the 3rd-highest Powerball prize of all time. And, despite the 1 in 292.2 million odds, a ticket matching all 6 numbers was sold at Las Palmitas Mini Market in DTLA.The blessed individual hasn't come forward as of Thursday morning, so we don't know if they opted for annual payments for the next 30 years -- roughly $34 mil a year -- or the 1-time payout of about $558.1 mil.
He's being sued by a man who claimed Edwin stole the winning ticket from someone else, although Powerball says it has no doubt Edwin's the rightful winner.
