Blocks from the epicenter of the homelessness crisis, one of the most lucrative lottery tickets in history was sold.
After months of anticipation, on Wednesday six numbers were drawn and one ticket, which was sold in Los Angeles' Fashion District, matched.
At about $1 billion, this prize is the third-largest Powerball jackpot in history and the seventh-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever. The winner, who remains unidentified, purchased their ticket at Las Palmitas Mini Market at East 12th Street and Wall Street, which is a short walk from Skid Row.
