Your lottery ticket has won $1 million in Texas. Now what? Here’s how to claim your prize.
A north Texas resident claimed a Powerball prize worth 1 million this weekend. The ticket was purchased at a Kroger store in Flower Mound.
Upon winning the lottery one may wonder, ‘where do I go in Texas to pick up my prize?’
According to the Texas Lottery, these are the ways you can pick up your cash at different levels:

Though Americans spend over $90 billion annually on the lottery, according to historian Jonathan Cohen, some of the highest jackpots remain unclaimed. A Florida ticket worth $44 million went unclaimed for months and was sent back to the state.
Check your ticket to see if its a winner. A ticket worth $24.1 million was found stuffed in an old shirt pocket just two days before the ticket was set to expire.
