A winning Powerball ticket was purchased at QuikTrip #4165 in Leander, Texas, matching all six numbers drawn: 25-37-42-52-65 and Powerball 14. The grand prize is being shared with another winner in Florida, according to the Texas Lottery.
The ticket sold in Texas carries a value of approximately $4.5 million before taxes, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The winning retailer was located at 10742 E. Crystal Falls Parkway. The Texas lottery player has not yet come forward to claim the prize and has 180 days from the draw date to do so.
Courtney Arbour, executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees the Texas Lottery, commented on the win. "Saturday delivered a major win for a Texas Lottery player and an exciting moment for our state," Arbour said. "We look forward to congratulating our second Powerball Grand Prize winner in the last eight months when they come forward to claim the prize."
Arbour highlighted the broader impact of lottery operations in the state. "Wins like this show the full impact that well-run Texas Lottery games have on players, retailers and our beneficiaries – public education and veterans' services – across the Lone Star State," the director added.
