A tourist stop in the Mojave Desert just minted a new millionaire.
A ticket sold at the Primm Valley Lotto store on the California-Nevada Stateline in Nipton matched five numbers in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing, according to the California Lottery .
The unidentified winner is due $2,321,838. The store earns a bonus of $11,000 for selling the winning ticket.
The winning numbers were 25, 32, 43, 53, 66, and 10, but no one hit the Powerball jackpot on Wednesday or Saturday night.
The jackpot has soared to an estimated $388 million for Monday’s drawing.
In California, the proceeds from the state lottery are primarily used to support public education. Since 1985, lottery officials say the program has funneled more than $46 billion to public schools.
