The sole Mega Millions winner from the July 25 drawing is from North Texas.

The anonymous winner purchased their ticket at a 7-Eleven in Anna, Texas, just northeast of Dallas. The winner guessed all five numbers correctly, winning the million-dollar prize. Those winnings were multiplied by four thanks to the Megaplier drawing.

The winner fell one short of winning the $820 Million jackpot, which involves guessing all five white balled numbers correctly along with the gold Megaball.

The jackpot for the Mega Millions is now over $1 billion. The next drawing is Tuesday, Aug. 1 at 10 p.m. Central time.
