A Powerball ticket purchased in Leander won the estimated $20 million Powerball jackpot Saturday night.
Another winning ticket was purchased in Florida.
The prize money was comparatively small for a Powerball jackpot because it came directly after another jackpot win. Last Wednesday’s winner took home $143 million.
The Texas ticket purchaser chose the cash value option when buying the ticket, state lottery officials said, which is projected to be about $4.5 million before taxes.
The last Texas ticket to win the Powerball in September won a lottery that featured a $1.8 billion jackpot.
“Saturday delivered a major win for a Texas Lottery player and an exciting moment for our state,” Courtney Arbour, executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, said in a statement.
It was only the fourth Powerball jackpot win claimed in Texas. There have been 15 Mega Millions jackpot-winning tickets purchased in the state, according to Texas Lottery.
Saturday’s winning numbers were 25-37-42-52-65 with a Powerball of 14.
