Texas has a brand-new millionaire thanks to the Powerball drawing on March 8! While no one hit the $320 million jackpot, one lucky Texan matched all five non-Powerball numbers, securing a massive $1 million prize.
Where Was the Winning Ticket Sold?
According to the Texas Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased at Dry Creek Shell, a store located on Dry Creek Road in northwest Austin. However, it appears the store has since changed to an Exxon distributor.
While the winner’s identity remains unknown, they’ve secured a life-changing amount of money. However, they missed out on doubling their winnings to $2 million by not opting for the Power Play multiplier, which costs just one extra dollar per ticket.
