Someone In Texas Has Won $41 Million Dollars Thanks to The Texas Lottery

Just a few days ago, someone in Texas became $41 million dollars richer. But the winning prize hasn't been claimed yet. The good news? The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the single ticket was sold in Mesquite at  a 7-Eleven store located at 3700 Interstate Highway 30 for the April 20 drawing. A single ticket sold in North Texas matched all six numbers in a recent Lotto Texas drawing, making it worth an estimated $41 million, according to a Texas Lottery news release.

They player used a Quick Pick selection and matched the winning numbers. The ticket was purchased with the cash value option, which means the winner of the ticket will receive about $22.5 million before taxes rather than the full annuitized jackpot, the release said. Still, not bad.

So, if you were in Mesquite and bought a lottery ticket that day, you might want to check those numbers.
