It may not be $754 million, but a Texan is $2 million richer this morning after last night's Powerball drawing.

A single ticket in Washington matched all 6 numbers, taking home the $754 million dollar prize.
The lottery game's website shows the jackpot for the next drawing on Thursday has dropped to $20 million.

That strategy certainly has worked recently, as someone in Maine won a $1.35 billion Mega Millions prize in January and a California player hit a record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot last November. No one has claimed either of those prizes.
