The Powerball winner has been found according to our ABC affiliate in Los Angeles.
 
A 62-year-old woman from Pomona is the lucky winner of the Chino Hills 1.6 billion dollar lotto ticket.
 
We're told that the woman who won never actually to the store, but was given the ticket from her boss who stopped into a 7/11 in Chino Hills.
 
Many people have stopped in to buy lotto tickets for this Saturday's drawing, saying they feel like thy have a better chance of winning now. 
 
For the store owner, it's also been an exciting day, he was given $1 million from the California lottery.
