It was sold a liquor store in Downey, according to the California Lottery. The ticket was only one of four with five winning numbers sold nationwide. The others were sold in Missouri and Pennsylvania and are worth $1 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association. However, the Washington winner utilized the Megaplier option to net $3 million.
