The second half of September's nearly $1.8 billion Powerball prize was claimed by a winner in Texas, the Texas Lottery announced in an Oct. 13 news release.

On behalf of the winner, the Seven Bridges Revocable Trust of Fredericksburg, Texas claimed over $410 million, before taxes, from the one-time payment option. The winning ticket was drawn on Sept. 6.

"We are Texas true to the state and its values. We believe in family, in faith, and in the blessings that come through both," the trust said in the release. "This is a moment of gratitude for us, a blessing we plan to enjoy and share with those who are special to us and who serve our community."

USA TODAY reached out to the Texas Lottery and estate planning law firms with offices in Fredericksburg to seek further comment from the trust's unamed legal representative and did not receive a response. Trusts are a way for lottery winners to add a layer of anonymity following the windfall, according to Accounting Insights.

The other half of the second-largest Powerball jackpot to date was claimed by an anonymous player in Missouri in late September.

Texas lottery winner won after number mistake

The trust said that the player chose to play personally meaningful numbers for the Sept. 6 draw instead of picking random numbers as they did normally.

After purchasing the Powerball ticket at Big’s 103, they realized one of the numbers they had selected was different from the one they had intended to pick. The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and the red Powerball was 17.

On their way to church the morning after the draw, the winner realized their fortune and had to pull over to check their numbers a few more times before going into the service, according to the release.

“We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with the claimant of the largest jackpot prize in Texas Lottery history,” Courtney Arbour, the executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation which oversees the lottery, said in the release.

The payout is the largest prize awarded in Texas Lottery history, according to the release.
