Texans are now millionaires.
Two lucky people won a $20 million jackpot in Saturday, May 2nd’s Powerball drawing. The lottery was purchased in Leander, a suburb north of Austin. The ticket sold on QuikTrip matched all six numbers drawn (25-37-42-52-65, Powerball 14).
The second ticket was sold in Florida. This means that two people will share the grand prize.
The Texas player chose the cash value option at the time of his purchase, which is worth about $4.5 million before taxes, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.
Texas Lottery winners have not yet come forward to claim their prizes, but ticket holders have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes, according to a Texas Lottery news release.
“Saturday delivered a big win for Texas Lottery players and an exciting moment for our state,” said Courtney Arbor, executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which oversees the Texas Lottery. “For the second time in the past eight months, we look forward to congratulating our Powerball grand prize winners when they come forward and claim their prizes.”
This is the fourth Powerball grand prize winner ever won by a Texas Lottery player, and the first since September 2025, when Seven Bridges Revocable Trust of Fredericksburg claimed a share of the $1.8 billion jackpot prize.
