Fort Worth resident stops to buy a $20 lottery ticket, walks out a millionaire
There’s a new millionaire in town.
Someone who went to the 7-Eleven on North Tarrant Parkway recently, and bought a $20 Stacks of Cash scratch off lottery ticket, hit the jackpot.
He or she cashed the ticket in for a $1 million prize, Texas Lottery officials announced Thursday.
The winner chose to remain anonymous, as state law allows.
The ticket was bought at the 7-Eleven at 5200 N. Tarrant Parkway, Suite 130, in Fort Worth.
This was the ninth of 15 tickets offering the million-dollar payout to be claimed.
The odds of winning any prize on this ticket is 1 in 3.37.
This is the fifth big lottery win claimed by a North Texan this year. More than a half-dozen North Texans became millionaires through the Texas Lottery last year.
The names of those winners aren’t public because of a 2017 state law that lets Texans who claim lottery prizes worth $1 million or more remain anonymous.
The first Texas Lottery tickets were sold in 1992.
