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

One lucky Powerball player hit the $1 million prize after purchasing a second-tier winning ticket at a 7-Eleven store in Lake Worth, Florida Lottery officials confirmed Thursday.

Here are Wednesday’s winning lottery numbers: The estimated Powerball jackpot is $216 million. The lump sum payment before taxes would be about $98.4 million.

The Powerball jackpot will be $234 million Saturday because no tickets had 5, 9, 25, 28 and 69 with a Powerball of 5. But a Quick Pick ticket bought at an unincorporated Palm Beach County 7-Eleven, 7479 Lake Worth Rd., did get the first five numbers. That’s worth $1 million.

A night to remember for Minnesota Lottery players, with a $50,000 Powerball winner in Shakopee and a $53,869 North 5 ticket sold in Baxter, excitement builds for Saturday's $234 million jackpot.

Someone won a $2 million prize from Powerball's Wednesday night drawing, according to the Texas Lottery. The winning ticket was purchased at Walmart Supercenter, at 8555 Preston Road in Frisco.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The winning numbers in Wednesday evening’s drawing of the "Powerball" game were: (five, nine, twenty-five, twenty-eight, sixty-nine, Powerball: five, Power Play: two)

When a Connecticut man lost his lottery ticket, he “didn’t think too much of it.” However, fate had other plans. Looking “for some superstitious fun” on Friday, June 13, Russell Ruff of Somers bought a Powerball ticket for the drawing the next day, Connecticut Lottery officials said in a July 7 news release. The ticket, though, vanished.
