A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, in Monday evening's multi-state Powerball lottery drawing was sold at a supermarket in San Diego and is worth $489,235.

Tickets with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number, sold in other states are worth at least $1 million, but California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.
