In Anaheim, California (KABC) – The California Lottery has revealed that a ticket matching all six numbers in Saturday’s Powerball draw was purchased at a 7-Eleven located on 763 North Euclid Street, valued at a remarkable $515 million.

This lucky Anaheim 7-Eleven has won the maximum bonus of $1 million for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
