A Powerball ticket worth $2,242,838 was sold in California after Saturday night’s drawing for a $35 million jackpot turned up no winner of all six numbers.
The ticket was reported on the California Lottery’s website and was sold at the Shell gas station on Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, a small but sharp hit of luck from a game that had rolled over once again. The next Powerball drawing was scheduled for Monday, April 13, at 8 p.m. PT, with the jackpot set at $45 million.
The Saturday drawing was held on April 11, 2026, and left the top prize untouched, even as one California player landed the much smaller but still life-changing seven-figure ticket. Powerball pays jackpot winners through an annuity process, while secondary prizes such as the California ticket can surface quickly after the numbers are drawn.
The timing matters because the game is already moving to its next drawing, and the prize is climbing. The Mega Millions jackpot is also rising to $1.35 billion, but this weekend’s immediate story is the California Powerball win and the chance for another big payout on Monday night.
For the buyer at the Calabasas Shell station, the question is no longer whether Saturday’s ticket was a winner. It is whether anyone else will step forward before the next drawing changes the size of the prize again.
