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

A Powerball player in Texas won $2 million, just missing the $429 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers and the Power Play multiplier, but not the Powerball, in the drawing Monday, Aug. 4, the Texas Lottery said.

The lucky ticket was sold at a Fuel Master gas station in Chappell Hill, which is about a 65-mile drive northwest from Houston.

Another Texas player won $100,000 in the drawing.

Tickets sold in Pennsylvania and Vermont won $1 million prizes.

The winning numbers were 8, 9, 19, 31 and 38 with a Powerball of 21. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

Powerball jackpot rises

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $449 million, with a cash value of about $203.9 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, Aug. 6, the national Powerball site said.

More than 515,000 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.
