An anonymous Lewisville resident claimed a million-dollar top prize after purchasing a lottery ticket from local convenience store Deer Run Food Mart.
The winner claimed the first of four top prizes worth $1 million in the “Texas Lottery’s $1,000,000 Ca$h!” scratch ticket game, which offers more than $91.5 million in total prizes.
According to the Texas Lottery, the overall odds of winning any prize in the game are one in 3.99, including break-even prizes.
Other prizes for the $1,000,000 Ca$h! game include $5,000, $2,000, $500, $200, $100, $50 and $20.
The winning Lewisville ticket was reportedly purchased on Jan. 2.
According to an NBC5 report, the winner, who elected to remain anonymous, will pay about $370,000 in federal taxes on the $1 million win.
That leaves about $630,000 that goes in the winner’s bank account since Texas doesn’t have a state tax on lottery winnings.
Another winner, a Dallas resident, collected the $1 million top prize from the scratch ticket game.
It isn’t the first winning ticket to be bought in Lewisville.
In 2023, the first $1 million winning ticket of the Texas Lottery’s Million Maker scratch ticket game was sold at a Lewisville gas station.
Then, in April 2024, a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold at the Kroger in Flower Mound. It was later claimed by a Lewisville resident.
Later, in June 2024, a Denton resident hit it big, winning $1 million of their own from the Texas Lottery’s Million Maker scratch ticket game.
