SACRAMENTO – A California Lottery ticket purchased in Hayward for last night’s draw is worth $133, 507. The ticket matched five of six numbers, missing only the Mega number.
The ticket was purchased from Quart Hse Liquors, which is located at 22596 Center Street in Hayward. The winning numbers were 10, 14, 16, 29, 40, and the Mega number was 6. No one matched all six numbers – five numbers plus the Mega number – so Friday night’s jackpot will be $16 million.
The California Lottery wants to remind winners to sign the back of their tickets, keep tickets in a safe place and contact Lottery officials or visit your local Lottery District Office (http://www.calottery.com/AboutUs/Locations) as soon as possible.
