MILPITAS, Calif. (AP) — The lone winning ticket for the $425 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a convenience store in central California, but there was no immediate word on who may have won one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history.

 The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 1, 17, 35, 49, 54 and a Powerball of 34. 
 
 California lottery officials said the ticket was sold at Dixon Landing Chevron in Milpitas, a city about 10 miles north of San Jose. The business will receive $1 million for selling the winning ticket. 
 
 Rajwinder Singh, an employee at the Chevron store, said late Wednesday that he believed he was probably the person who sold the winning ticket. 
 
 "I've been here working from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.," he told The Associated Press. "I hope I'll find out soon." 
 
 That ticket was the only one to match all the winning numbers, Powerball officials said late Wednesday. 
 
 The jackpot was estimated at $425.3 million, with a cash payout option of $242.2 million. It's one of the largest lottery jackpots in U.S. history — but still far from the record. 
 
 The nation's biggest lottery prize was a $656 million dollar Mega Millions jackpot in 2012. The biggest Powerball jackpot was a $590.5 million last May. 
 
 Wednesday's drawing also saw 17 tickets match enough numbers to win $1 million, and one ticket won a $2 million prize, according to a statement from Rose J. Hudson, chair of the Powerball Game Group and President of the Louisiana Lottery. 
 
 "Here's a bit of advice for all of those big Powerball winners: If you haven't already, sign the back of your tickets and store them in a safe place," Hudson said. "Use the claim time period to consult trusted financial and legal professionals; then you'll be prepared to bask in an amazing Powerball winning experience!" 
 
 Changes to top lottery games have created bigger jackpots in shorter periods of time. More than half of the top 10 prizes in U.S. lottery history have occurred since 2012, according to statistics provided by the Multi-State Lottery Association. 
 
 Powerball's game changes in January 2012 included an increase in ticket price from $1 to $2. Starting jackpots went from $20 million to $40 million, and pots increased by more money with each roll. Mega Millions also went through a revamp that included decreasing the odds of winning the top prize to 1 in about 259 million. 
 
 Powerball is played in 43 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of matching all six numbers in the game are 1 in about 175 million. ||||| Photo: Elise Amendola, Associated Press Image 1 of / 6 Caption Close

– Milipitas is a small city about 10 miles north of San Jose, Calif., and one of its residents—or someone who shopped there—can probably now afford to buy a big chunk of it. State lottery officials say the winning ticket for the last night's $425 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a gas station in the city, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. The sole winner beat the 1 in 175 million odds to match the numbers 1, 17, 35, 49, and 54, plus the Powerball No. 34, but there is no word on his or her identity yet, the AP reports. The Chevron store will receive a $1 million bonus for selling the ticket, which won one of the largest lottery jackpots in American history.
