The grand prize now resets to an estimated $73,000 for the next drawing Wednesday, July 2, lottery officials said.

The winning numbers were 3, 5, 6, 25 and 29, the site said.

More than 67,000 other Fantasy 5 tickets sold in California also won prizes ranging from free plays to $400, the lottery said.
