HOUSTON — There was finally a jackpot winner in Powerball! While the big $1 billion-winning ticket wasn’t sold in Texas, there were some tickets worth $1 million sold in the state. That includes one $1 million ticket bought in southwest Houston.
Let’s start with the winning numbers – 7, 10, 11, 13, 24 and a Powerball of 24.
The single perfect Powerball ticket was sold in California, according to the Powerball site. There were also plenty of $1 million-winning tickets, including four in Texas. Of those four, one was sold in Houston – at a Big Shot at 9780 Bissonnet.
The other $1 million-winning tickets sold in Texas were purchased in San Marcos, Pleasanton and Forney.
Wednesday's prize, which rose to $1.08 billion by drawing time, ranks as the game's third largest prize, only behind the world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won last year and the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016. It's the sixth largest lottery win among all games.
