Powerball player wins $2 million in Texas. Where was lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball player in Texas won $2 million, just missing the $217 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers and the Power Play multiplier but not the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, July 9, the Texas Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Walmart store in Frisco, which is about a 60-mile drive northeast from Fort Worth, lottery officials said.

Two Powerball players won $1 million prizes in Illinois and Massachusetts, and players also won $1 million in Florida and Nebraska.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $234 million, with a cash value of about $106.6 million, for the next drawing Saturday, July 12, the national Powerball site said.

The winning numbers July 9 were 5, 9, 25, 28 and 69, with a Powerball of 5. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

More than 415,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.

The Powerball jackpot was last won May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.
