California 7-Eleven Sells $207M Powerball Jackpot Ticket

A $207 million Powerball jackpot ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven on Woodman Avenue in the Arleta neighborhood of Los Angeles, marking the second California win among the four Powerball jackpots in 2025. The winning numbers were 1, 29, 37, 56, 68, and the Powerball number 13, and the winner can choose between a 30-year annuity totaling $207 million or a lump sum payment around $92 million before taxes. The 7-Eleven retailer receives a $1 million bonus for selling the winning ticket, a rare and exciting event for the store staff. The jackpot amount was initially estimated at $207 million but was later adjusted slightly to $204.5 million after final sales and interest calculations. The winner has not yet come forward, and California law requires the disclosure of the winner’s name, though other personal details remain private; the prize claim process involves verification and law enforcement interviews. The Powerball game resets with a new $20 million jackpot for the next drawing.
