(AUSTIN) – He matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn on June 20, and now Euless resident Joseph F. Drake has claimed a Powerball prize worth $1 million. Drake purchased the second-tier prizewinning ticket at the QuikTrip #869 at 700 S. Industrial Blvd. in Euless.

His ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (9-10-16-20-57), but not the red Powerball number (15). Powerball jackpots start at $40 million and roll until the jackpot is won. Players win the jackpot by matching the five white ball numbers (1-59) and the red Powerball number (1-35).

There are eight other ways to win non-jackpot prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million or up to $2 million if the ticket includes Power Play. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately one in 31. The overall odds of winning the jackpot prize are one in 175,223,510.
