Powerball player wins $2 million prize in Texas. Where was the lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball ticket sold in Texas won $2 million but just missed the $381 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers and the Power Play, but not the Powerball, in the drawing Saturday, March 15, the Texas Lottery said.
The winning ticket was sold at a QuikTrip in San Antonio, lottery officials said.
Other Texas players also won $50,000 and $150,000 prizes. A ticket sold in Massachusetts won $1 million in the drawing.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $398 million, with a cash value of about $185.7 million, for the next drawing Monday, March 17, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 12, 28, 33, 36 and 54, with a Powerball of 5, the lottery said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
More than 715,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won Jan. 18, when an Oregon player hit the $329 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
