Overview

  • Seven Bridges Revocable Trust of Fredericksburg formally claimed the Texas portion of the Sept. 6 Powerball jackpot, the Texas Lottery confirmed.
  • The claimant received $410,324,470.28 before taxes, marking the largest lottery payout in Texas and part of the nation’s second-largest jackpot.
  • The winning ticket was sold at Big’s 103 at 11905 E. U.S. Highway 290 in Fredericksburg, and the retailer was awarded a $250,000 bonus.
  • The winning numbers were 11-23-44-61-62 with Powerball 17, shared with a co-winner in Missouri.
