Texas Lottery Confirms Million Dollar Powerball Win on Monday

When the Texas Lottery promotes its big winners on its official website you'll see the phrase "next time it could be you". That's the expectation that a Powerball player in Taylor Texas had back on June 28th when they won $250,000 and in Laredo on June 24th when a Powerball ticket sold there earned a prize of $100,000. You literally could be the bounce of a ball away from a life-changing jackpot every time you play the game.

They played the game last night, the game being Powerball and last night being Monday, October 21, 2024. The estimated annuitized amount in the Powerball jackpot at the time of the drawing was $455.9 million. The lump sum payout for Monday's Powerball was estimated at $219.8 million.

There have been 30 Powerball drawings since the last time the game made a jackpot winner. That happened back on Monday, August 12th when a ticket sold in Pennsylvania matched the numbers needed to claim the game's top prize of $213.8 million. That was then and this is now.

How Much Was the Powerball on Monday?

As we mentioned the jackpot for Monday's drawing was $455.9 million for the estimated annuity. Here is how that drawing unfolded:

Our sources at Powerball have revealed that no tickets sold for Monday's drawing matched the numbers needed to claim the game's top prize. However, there were two tickets sold across the country that earned a Match 5 Million prize.

The Match 5 Million is when a ticket matches all five of the white ball numbers but doesn't match the Powerball. The prize in such a case is one million dollars. Should the ticket purchaser opt for the Power Play and score a Match 5 Million match, that ticket's prize is doubled to $2 million.

Powerball Creates New Texas Millionaire on Monday Night

In Monday's drawing a ticket from Florida matched all five of the white balls and a ticket from Texas did too. Our sources at the Texas Lottery have confirmed the Match 5 Million winner in Texas was sold at SJ 1960 Food Mart on FM 1960 Bypass Road West. That is in the city of Humble, Texas. Congratulations to the ticket holder and the folks at the store who sold the winning ticket. They'll get a nice prize too.

That wasn't the only big winner confirmed by the Texas Lottery in Monday's Powerball drawing. In total some 38,506 tickets sold for Powerball in the state were winners of $4 or more. There was one ticket that matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball but did not opt for Power Play. That ticket is worth $50,000.

Another ticket sold for Monday's Powerball matched the same prize scenario but that ticket purchaser did opt for the Power Play so their prize is $100,000 by virtue of spending that extra dollar.
