A jackpot-winning lottery ticket worth as much as $17 million was sold at a 7-Eleven in Far North Dallas.
According to the Texas Lottery, the Lotto Texas ticket that matched all six numbers drawn was purchased at the convenience store, located at 7650 Campbell Road. The winning numbers were 10-14-17-31-38-48.
If the ticket holder chose annuity payments over 30 years, they would have received the full cash amount. But the Texas Lottery said the person chose the lump sum option and will receive about $9.8 million before taxes.
The prize has not yet been claimed, so if you’re the lucky winner, you have six months from Wednesday’s drawing to claim it.
“We look forward to meeting and congratulating the fourth Lotto Texas jackpot winner of 2023,” Gary Grief, the executive director of the Texas Lottery, said in a news release.
Grief added that the winning ticketholder should sign it, place it in a safe place, seek financial and legal advice and then call the Texas Lottery to schedule an appointment to claim the earnings.
The Texas Lottery said a little over 49,000 Lotto Texas tickets won lower-tier prizes that ranged from $2 to about $11,000 in the same drawing. The jackpot for the next drawing on Saturday stands at about $5 million with annuity payments.
Drawings for Lotto Texas, in which buyers pick six numbers from one to 54, are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday a little after 10 p.m.
