Powerball player wins $1 million in Texas. Where was the lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball ticket sold in Texas won $1 million, just missing the $777 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, Aug. 25, the Texas Lottery said.

Three other Texas players won $50,000 each in the drawing, lottery officials said.

The lucky $1 million ticket was sold at Broadway Food Store in Houston, lottery officials said.

A ticket sold in Georgia also won $1 million.

The winning numbers were 16, 19, 34, 37 and 64 with a Powerball of 22. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

Powerball jackpot rises

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $815 million, with a cash value of about $367.9 million, for the next drawing Wednesday, Aug. 27, the national Powerball site said.

More than 1.5 million 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.
