Texas Lottery Confirms Million Dollar Powerball Win

(Austin, TX) Fans of the Powerball and the Texas Lottery can certainly relate to the power of "0". Depending on which side of the decimal point that all-important placeholder lies, a lottery player in Abilene, Lufkin, Houston, Beaumont, or Montgomery might be the recipient of a nice win in Powerball or a life-changing win in Powerball.

Based on the details we've gotten from our sources inside the Texas Lottery, Saturday's Powerball has one of each of those kinds of wins. On one ticket, there is a prize that pays the bills, maybe pays off the cars, and buys a nice vacation. On the other ticket, there might be enough money to pay off the house, buy new cars, take several trips, and still have enough money left over to afford a trip to Whole Foods.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the Texas Lottery has confirmed a one-million-dollar win. That would be $1,000,000. And a one-hundred-thousand-dollar win. That would be $100,000. Now, can you see what a difference that extra "0" makes?

Let's see how we got to that point. Here is the drawing from Saturday, July 12, 2025.

The jackpot prize in Saturday's Powerball was officially listed at $237.1 million at the time of the drawing. No ticket across the Powerball "fruited plain" matched the numbers needed to claim that money. But there were some Match 5 Million winners. A ticket sold in Wisconsin matched all five of the white balls to claim a one-million-dollar prize, and that ticket's purchaser also opted for the Power Play.

Did Powerball Get A Winner on Saturday?

By opting for the Power Play, the Match 5 Million winner in Wisconsin earned a prize of $2 million. The other Match 5 Million winner was sold in the Lone Star State. The Texas Lottery has confirmed the big money winner, and we know where it was purchased.

But there was also another big win in Texas on Saturday. Another ticket sold in the state matched four of five white balls and the Powerball. By rule, that ticket is worth $50,000 since that player did opt for the Power Play, that $50,000 was multiplied by "2" and is worth $100,000.
