The Powerball drawing held on Wednesday night (March 12) was quite the windfall for multiple Texas Lottery players.

Lottery players from Houston to Dallas, Amarillo to El Paso, and all points in between hoped to secure the top prize of $353 million. And while no one did that, several players now have a nice chunk of change in their pockets.
