“I had to keep checking,” the man said. “I couldn’t believe it.” The man matched four numbers and the Powerball, missing the $245 million jackpot by one number, leaving him with a third-tier win, lottery officials said. The Nottingham man told lottery officials he plans to tuck his winnings away into savings.

According to California Lottery's website late Wednesday night, a ticket worth $562,699 was sold at the Quality Market on Main Street in Newcastle, located about 30 miles away from Sacramento. The news comes as Powerball held a drawing for the then-top prize of $408 million.
