MESQUITE (CBSDFW.COM) — Well, you didn't win the $1.5 billion Powerball lottery jackpot last month, and apparently you didn't win the $1 million prize last week either!

Today officials with the Texas Lottery revealed that a person from Mesquite won a $1 million prize in the February 3 drawing.

Yi Mei Dong didn't get the number 23 Powerball correct, but walked away with the prize after matching all five of the other white ball numbers -- 26-28-31-60-67.

The winning ticket, purchased at the Whip In off of Interstate-30 in Mesquite, was a Quick Pick.

Powerball jackpots start at $40 million.
