Texas Powerball ticket wins share of $20 million jackpot
A winning Powerball ticket sold in Leander has claimed a share of the $20 million jackpot, leaving one Texas player with a multi-million-dollar prize still unclaimed.
The Powerball grand prize was won over the weekend, and the winner is a lucky Texas winner. Now, the winner has 180 days to claim the prize.
According to the Texas Lottery Commission, a jackpot-winning ticket for the estimated annuitized $20 million Powerball grand prize that was advertised for the May 2 drawing was purchased in Leander. The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at QuikTrip #4165, located at 10742 E. Crystal Falls Parkway, and matched all six numbers drawn (25-37-42-52-65, Powerball 14).
With a second jackpot-winning ticket sold in Florida, the two winners will share the grand prize. The Texas player chose the cash value option at the time of purchase. According to the Multi-State Lottery Association, the ticket sold in Texas is worth approximately $4.5 million before taxes.
The Texas Lottery’s winner has not yet come forward to claim the prize. The ticket holder has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize. QuikTrip #4165 may be eligible to receive a $250,000 retailer bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket under the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program.
“Saturday delivered a major win for a Texas Lottery player and an exciting moment for our state,” said Courtney Arbour, executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees the Texas Lottery. “We look forward to congratulating our second Powerball Grand Prize winner in the last eight months when they come forward to claim the prize. 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.”
This is the fourth Powerball grand prize winner all-time by a Texas Lottery player and the first since September 2025, when Seven Bridges Revocable Trust, of Fredericksburg, claimed a share of a $1.8 billion jackpot prize. Additionally, the Texas Lottery has now had at least one Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot winner during each of the last four calendar years.
Powerball grand prizes currently start at $20 million and roll until the jackpot is won. Players win the grand prize by matching five numbers from a field of 69 numbers and one Powerball number from a field of 26 numbers. Drawings are broadcast each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 p.m. CT.
