Powerball player just misses $106 million jackpot — but still wins big in Texas
A Powerball player in Texas won $150,000, just missing the $106 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play in the drawing Wednesday, May 14, the Texas Lottery said.
A ticket sold in Massachusetts won $1 million.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $123 million, with a cash value of about $55.9 million, for the next drawing Saturday, May 17, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 4, 10, 24, 29 and 53, with a Powerball of 4, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
Nearly 345,000 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 April 26, when a Kentucky player hit the $167 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
