Powerball player wins $100,000 prize in Texas. Where was the lucky ticket sold?

A Powerball ticket sold in Texas won $100,000, just missing the $194 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play multiplier in the drawing Saturday, Oct. 4, the Texas Lottery said. Another Texas player won $50,000.

The lucky $100,000 ticket was sold at a TXB store in La Pryor, which is about a 100-mile drive southwest from San Antonio, lottery officials said in an email to McClatchy News.

The winning numbers were 3, 7, 47, 67 and 68 with a Powerball of 2. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

Powerball jackpot rises

Nobody won the jackpot, which rises to an estimated $207 million, with a cash value of about $96.9 million, for the next drawing Monday, Oct. 6, the national Powerball site said.

Nearly 550,000 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 Sept. 6, when players in Missouri and Texas split the $1.787 billion grand prize.

What to know about Powerball

To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
