A Powerball ticket sold in Texas won $100,000, just missing the $716 million jackpot, lottery officials say.
The ticket matched four winning numbers, the Powerball and the Power Play multiplier in the drawing Saturday, Aug. 23, the Texas Lottery said.
A ticket sold in South Dakota won $2 million. Tickets sold in Maine and New York won $1 million each.
The winning numbers were 11, 14, 34, 47 and 51 with a Powerball of 18. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
Powerball jackpot rises
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $750 million, with a cash value of about $338.6 million, for the next drawing Monday, Aug. 25, the national Powerball site said.
More than 1.7 million other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $100,000, the lottery said.
The Powerball jackpot was last won May 31, when a California player hit the $204.5 million grand prize.
What to know about Powerball
To score a jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.
The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.
Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.
Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.
Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
