A person in Richardson won $1 million in last week's Powerball drawing.
According to the Texas Lottery, the Richardson resident, who asked to remain anonymous, claimed their prize from the Oct. 24 drawing after matching all five white balls, but not the red Powerball.
The winning ticket was bought at the Tom Thumb grocery on Custer Parkway.
There was no jackpot winner in that drawing and the Powerball Lottery has continued to swell. The next drawing is Wednesday night and is worth an estimated $1.2 billion.
