The player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched all five white ball numbers drawn — 7, 24, 37, 42 and 57 — but missed the red Powerball number, 5. The winner added $8 to the ticket, bringing the total prize to $2,000,008.
A $10,000 bonus might be available to the retailer for selling the prize-winning ticket, as part of the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program.
