Ever since the drawing was held Saturday night, the question has been asked: who were the lucky winners of the $1.8 billion Powerball?

We know that two people drew the lucky numbers, one from Missouri and one from Texas.  Both had the option to and have chosen to remain anonymous.

However, a report from MySA.com has uncovered that the winner from the Lone Star State may actually be a college student from the University of Texas.

A post on Instagram from the Barstool-affiliated account “BarstoolLonghorn” shows, supposedly, the winning lottery ticket, though the photo’s authenticity has not been verified.

The Texas Lottery says the winner has not yet come forward to claim their prize.  They have 180 days to do so.  The winning Powerball ticket was sold at a Big's Convenience Store, located at 103 11905 E. US Highway 290, Fredericksburg, TX, 78624.
