Texas Lottery Confirms $83.5 Million Win in Monday’s Drawing

There is no doubt that Lady Luck is alive and well and living deep in the heart of Texas. Monday night's drawings from the Texas Lottery and Powerball proved just how lucky Texas Lottery players can be. Our sources from Austin, Texas, have revealed there were major money winners in both the Powerball multi-state lottery game and Lotto Texas with Extra! a state-sponsored game.

The Lotto Texas with Extra! jackpot had not been won since a ticket purchased in Austin claimed the game's top prize in June of 2024. The most recent big-money Powerball win in Texas came Saturday night when a ticket sold in the state earned a prize of $50,000.

Last night, Monday, February 17, 2025, the Powerball game held a drawing for an estimated annuitized top prize of $183.1 million or a lump sum payout of $84.5 million. Here is how that drawing unfolded Monday night at 10.

Our source at Powerball confirmed that no tickets sold across the game's footprint matched the numbers needed to claim the jackpot prize. No Match 5 Million winners were created in last night's drawing either.

However, our source at the Texas Lottery did reveal that a Texas-sold ticket was one of two tickets sold across the Powerball landscape that matched four of five with the Powerball and the Power Play to lay claim to a prize worth $200,000. There was also another ticket sold in Texas that matched that same scenario. However, that player did not opt for the Power Play so their prize is only $50,000.

Here are the numbers that came out of Monday's Powerball drawing:

04   44   47   52   57   Powerball 09   Power Play x4

Our sources at the Texas Lottery say 27,049 tickets sold for Monday's game were prize winners. If you think you're holding one of those prize-winning tickets you'll need to visit this link.

We do not know point-of-purchase information on the two big Powerball wins but we know exactly where the $83.5 million Lotto Texas with Extra! jackpot winner was sold. That's right, Lotto Texas, finally got a winner. I only missed my guess on when that jackpot would be won by $60 million. See, even we Lotologists can be wrong. Actually, we're wrong a lot.

But we can confirm the details of the Lotto Texas with Extra! big winner from Monday night. Just like the last Lotto jackpot winner, the big-money ticket was purchased in Austin. If you played Lotto Texas with Extra! at Winners Corner on Rockwood Lane, you might have $83.5 million reasons to be happier than you were at this time yesterday.

Nine other tickets sold for last night's Lotto Texas drawing earned a prize of $3,393 while another two tickets opted for the "Extra!" multiplier and earned a prize of $13,393. The Lotto Texas with Extra! jackpot will now start over with a prize of $5 million up for grabs on Wednesday night.

Your next chance to become an instant millionaire with the Texas Lottery happens tonight with Mega Millions. That game will draw for an annuitized estimated jackpot of $145 million at 10 this evening.
