A Powerball ticket purchased at a Bay Area tobacco shop is worth $677,821, California lottery officials confirmed Monday night. The ticket matched five of the six winning numbers in the July 21 drawing - just one number shy of the $309 million jackpot.

If you’re dreaming of hitting it big on the Powerball, you might want to book a one-way ticket to a few select states across America.

Normally with the astronomical odds of winning Powerball you want to spread out your luck. One man in Massachusetts lucked out from a mistake.
