California Lottery officials on Saturday were seeking a likely San Diego resident who won the $530 million jackpot in Friday’s multi-state Mega Millions drawing.
The winning ticket was sold at the Sorrento Deli-Mart at 10920 Roselle Street near the COASTER station in Sorrento Valley. The numbers drawn were 17, 19, 27, 40, 68 and the Mega number was 2.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number is 1 in 302,575,350, according to the lottery.
The ticket’s owner must decide whether to receive the jackpot in 30 installments or at its $345.2 million immediate cash value. But as of Saturday night, no one had come forward.
