Powerball player wins $1 million in Texas. Where was the lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball player in Texas won $1 million, just missing the $147 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, May 21, the Texas Lottery said.
The winning ticket was sold at a Walmart store in McKinney, about a 30-mile drive northeast from Dallas, the lottery said.
Powerball players in New Hampshire and Kansas also won $1 million prizes.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $163 million, with a cash value of about $73.3 million, for the next drawing Saturday, May 24, the national Powerball site said.
The winning numbers were 9, 29, 31, 34 and 43, with a Powerball of 2, the site said. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
More than 330,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $50,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won April 26, when a Kentucky player hit the $167 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
