Powerball player wins $150,000 in Texas. Where was the lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball player in Texas won $150,000, just missing the $326 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play multiplier in the drawing Wednesday, July 23, the Texas Lottery said.
The lucky ticket was sold at a Lowe’s Super Saver store in Odessa, which is about a 320-mile drive southwest from Fort Worth, officials said in an email to McClatchy News.
A ticket sold in Georgia won a $2 million prize.
The winning numbers were 2, 18, 19, 25 and 35 with a Powerball of 25. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.
Powerball jackpot rises
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $350 million, with a cash value of about $156.5 million, for the next drawing Saturday, July 26, the national Powerball site said.
More than 470,000 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 May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.
