Someone in Texas became a millionaire after the Powerball drawing on Monday night.

According to the Texas Lottery, a person purchased a winning Powerball ticket at the store on Bellaire Boulevard in Houston.

The buyer matched all five numbers, meaning they won $1 million, but since they chose the “Power Play” option, they doubled the winnings.

The winning numbers Monday night were 05, 11, 22, 23, 69 and the Powerball 07. The grand prize, however, went to a resident in Washington state.

Lottery officials said early Tuesday that a single ticket matched all six numbers of the $754.6 million Powerball jackpot.

The full jackpot is for a winner opting for an annuity distributed in one immediate but partial payout followed by additional payments over 29 years that increase by 5% annually.

The winner also can opt for a one-time cash payment of $407.2 million.
