They don’t call it the Golden State for nothing.
For the second time this month, a billion-dollar Powerball winner was revealed in California while the lottery’s current jackpot prize inches closer to the coveted 10-figure value.
Yanira Alvarez bought the winning $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot ticket at Las Palmitas Mini Market in Los Angeles for the July 19, 2023 drawing.
Alvarez’s winning numbers were 7, 10, 11, 13, 24, and the red Powerball 24.
Her monstrous win last July ended a 39-draw jackpot run for Powerball and was the first of two back-to-back billion-dollar winning tickets sold in California, the state’s lottery said, referring to Theodorus “Theo” Struyck’s historic win.
