Texan Becomes the State’s Latest Millionaire Thanks to a Lottery Ticket

A lucky player in Texas has won a jaw-dropping top prize of $1 million from one of the Texas Lottery’s scratch-off games. According to the Texas Lottery Commission, the winner was a local who preferred to remain anonymous. Lucky 7 Tripler Delivered Its First Top Win The announcement states that the lucky winner was a local resident who won his seven-figure prize on a Lucky 7 Tripler ticket. The Texas Lottery Commission confirmed that the winner in question came forward to claim their winnings. While the winner preferred to remain anonymous, the commission did reveal a few details about the win, including where the ticket was purchased. The commission described the winner as a resident of Southlake, who won the prize from a ticket that he purchased at Joe Bob’s #2, located at 597 League St. S., in Sulphur Springs. The store where the ticket was sold might be eligible to redeem a $10,000 bonus, per the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program. It should be noted that the $1 million prize that the lucky Southlake resident won was the first of four top prizes worth $1 million to be claimed in this game. The game also has 12 second-tier prizes of $25,000, none of which has been won yet. For reference, the $20 Lucky 7 Tripler game offers more than $91.6 million in total prizes, with the odds of winning a prize (including break-evens) being 1 in 3.44. Players in Texas Continue to Win Big This is the latest huge prize to land in Texas, following a few very memorable wins. Earlier this month, for example, a lucky player in Houston won the $7.5 million Lotto Texas jackpot. The win was scored on a cash value option ticket, meaning that the winner is now eligible to redeem a $3,971,819.05 payout (before taxes). Before that, a lucky Lake Jackson resident came forward to claim another Lotto Texas prize. The incredible $26.75 million jackpot was scored previously and effectively netted the player $14,303,717.61 before taxes since that winner also went with the cash value option rather than the annuity. In August, on the other hand, a Texan tourist visiting Las Vegas won $1.89 million on a Dragon Link slot at the Resorts World Las Vegas casino.
