Someone in Fort Worth has fuller pockets after claiming a $1 million Powerball prize last month.
The lucky winner, who chose to remain anonymous, bought the ticket at a 7-Eleven on Altamesa Boulevard in Fort Worth, a Monday release from the Texas Lottery said.
Their second-tier winning Quick Pick ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (1-6-40-51-67), but not the red Powerball number (2) during the Nov. 21 drawing.
The Powerball game recently had a record $2 billion drawing on Nov. 8 after 40 consecutive drawings without a winner. A California resident won that grand prize.
The Powerball grand prizes restart at $20 million after one is drawn, according to the Texas Lottery, and the current jackpot is $89 million. Players win the grand prize by matching five numbers (the white balls) from a field of 69 numbers and one Powerball number (the red ball) from a field of 26 numbers.
Drawings are every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 p.m.
