San Antonio resident claims $1,000,004 Powerball prize from ticket bought at local H-E-B
A San Antonio resident has claimed a Powerball prize totaling $1,000,004 after holding a ticket that matched five of the five white-ball numbers drawn on August 18. The ticket was purchased at H-E-B Food Store #732, located at 17238 Bulverde Road on the city’s North Side. The winner has elected to remain anonymous.
The winning entry was a Quick Pick ticket that matched the five white-ball numbers drawn: 15, 46, 61, 63, and 64. The ticket did not match the red Powerball number, which was 1, and it also won an additional $4, bringing the total claimed amount to $1,000,004.
How the prize was won
The ticket matched the five white-ball numbers but missed the red Powerball, which qualifies for the $1 million prize level for a standard Powerball play. The odds of matching all five white balls while missing the Powerball are approximately 1 in 11.7 million. Powerball grand prizes begin at $20 million and increase if there is no jackpot-winning ticket; the game requires matching five numbers from a field of 69 and one Powerball number from a field of 26 to win the jackpot.
Drawing and claim details
The drawing in which the five white numbers were selected took place on August 18. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evening. The winning ticket was identified and claimed by the holder at the appropriate prize-claiming authority, and the winner chose to remain anonymous as permitted by local rules.
Context and practical information
Players who match all five white balls but not the Powerball qualify for the $1 million prize level; some players choose to add the Power Play option when purchasing tickets, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes, but details on whether this ticket included Power Play were not provided. The Powerball jackpot is won by matching all five white numbers plus the red Powerball. Because grand prizes start at $20 million and roll over when not won, consolation prizes such as the $1 million level are distinct from the jackpot and are awarded according to the match level achieved on a ticket.
Public impact
The prize was sold at a neighborhood grocery store, a common retail location for lottery tickets. The claim may be recorded in lottery records, subject to the winner’s choice to remain anonymous where state rules allow, and the sale of the winning ticket will be noted for the retailer’s records and any applicable retailer incentives for selling winning tickets.
