The chances of winning the Powerball lottery grand prize are only 1 in 292.2 million, so the probability of a winner in future draws is very low.
Despite this omen, a Texas resident claimed a Powerball prize valued at $2 million.
On November 12, the winner, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased the ticket at a HEB Food supermarket located at 10710 Research Blvde in Austin.
According to the Texas Lottery, the winner is a resident of Manor in central Texas.
The winning ticket featured Power Play and matched all five numbers, except for the red Powerball number.
It is not the first time in Austin that someone has won a lottery prize. A resident claimed a $1 million jackpot winning ticket in the Texas Lottery through a scratch card game on November 15.
When will the next Powerball lottery draw take place?
The next Powerball lottery draw will take place on Wednesday, November 23.
For this draw, the jackpot will be US$30 million and, if there is no winner, the number will continue to increase.
#Powerball was not hit tonight. Jackpot for Wednesday, Nov. 23 has increased to $30,000,000! ????????

How can you collect the Powerball lottery prize?
The Powerball lottery prize can be collected in two ways: in a single exhibition or by receiving money for 30 years.
Choosing the option to collect the prize in a single payment, the most recent winner of the Powerball lottery, who won a total figure of US$2.040 million, would receive US$1.030 million.
However, following subtracting federal and local taxes, the prize would be US$635 million.
On the other hand, if the winner of the Powerball lottery prize decides to receive the prize for 30 years, the total would be US$1.0285 million following the payment of the corresponding taxes.
Given this, the winning person will receive US$44.8 million per year for the next 30 years.
