Texas Lottery Winners Strike it Rich: Two Residents Claim $1 Million Prizes
Two fortunate Texans have recently become millionaires, each claiming a $1 million prize. The Texas Lottery Commission announced that a San Antonio resident purchased a winning ticket worth $1 million in the Monaco Millionaire scratch ticket game from Stop and Shop in San Antonio. The winner chose to remain anonymous. This marked the second out of four $1 million top prizes claimed in this particular game. Similarly, a Tyler resident also claimed a $1 million top prize in the Casino Millions scratch ticket game from Tylers Travel Center in Tyler. The winner also opted to remain anonymous. This win was the second out of 10 $1 million top prizes to be claimed in the Casino Millions game.

Additionally, $3 million in prizes were claimed towards the end of the previous week.
