Powerball tickets sold across the United States won $1 million prizes, just missing the $527 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, March 29, the national Powerball site said.

A ticket sold in California hit the $527 million jackpot. Two tickets sold in Georgia and tickets sold in Ohio, Oregon and Texas won $1 million each.

The grand prize now resets to an estimated $20 million, with a cash value of about $9.3 million, for the next drawing Monday, March 31, the national Powerball site said.

The winning numbers were 7, 11, 21, 53 and 61, with a Powerball of 2, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

More than 925,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was previously last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
