The 7-Eleven store that sold the ticket is at 763 North Euclid Street, south of La Palma Avenue, the lottery website said.

It wasn’t immediately known who purchased the ticket or when it would be claimed.

RMG News, a video news provider, reported a store worker, having learned the winning ticket was sold there, called the store owner and told the owner: “It’s a jackpot from our store.”

“$515 million, from our store,” the worker told the owner.

“We got it, someone bought it from here. … We are very happy.”

The numbers drawn Saturday were 7, 11, 21, 53, 61 and the Powerball number was 2.

The drawing was the 29th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

There were five tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number — two in Georgia and one each in Ohio, Oregon and Texas, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game. They are each worth $1 million.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.9.

The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
