A Powerball ticket sold in Texas won $1 million and narrowly missed the $121 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Saturday, May 25, the Texas Lottery said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $131 million, with a cash value of $61.2 million, for the next drawing Monday, May 27, according to the national Powerball site.
The winning numbers were 6, 33, 35, 36 and 64, with a Powerball of 24.
The $1 million ticket was sold at a convenience store in Moore, which is about a 40-mile drive southwest of San Antonio.
More than 40,000 other Powerball tickets sold in Texas also won prizes ranging from $4 to $150,000, the state lottery said.
