Texas Lottery Confirms $1 Million Jackpot Powerball Winner

The Powerball drawing held on Saturday night proved to be quite the windfall for one Lottery player in the great state of Texas to the tune of $1 million.

Lottery players from Houston to Dallas, Amarillo to El Paso, and all points in between were hoping to secure the top prize of $320 million. And while no one did that, someone in Texas is now a millionaire.

That player matched all five white balls and was just missing the magic red Powerball to take home the top prize. Still, a nice day for them, no doubt.
