Keller resident wins $1 million in Powerball drawing
FILE - Most people paid cash for their Powerball plays, but debit cards are also accepted at Blue Bird Liquor in Hawthorne, CA, Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023.
KELLER, Texas - A Keller resident claimed a $1 million prize from the Dec. 6 Powerball drawing, the Texas Lottery announced this week. The winning ticket was purchased at Crossroad Shell, located at 3605 Western Center Blvd. in Fort Worth. Following Texas law, the winner elected to remain anonymous.
What we know:
The ticket matched all five white ball numbers drawn but missed the red Powerball number. Because no player matched all six numbers in the Wednesday night drawing, the Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.5 billion.
The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 20, at 10:59 p.m. EST.
