In late August this year, a Lotto Texas ticket with a staggering value of $6.25 million, sold in Pearland, has now found its rightful owner, as confirmed by the Texas Lottery. The fortunate winner, hailing from Houston, made their purchase at the Kroger store on Shadow Creek Parkway, situated just west of 288.
The winning ticket displayed the magic combination of all six drawn numbers: 6-11-16-21-25-32. Opting for the cash value alternative when acquiring the ticket, the winner is set to receive a substantial sum of $3,584,452.28 before the inevitable tax deductions.
The individual holding the golden ticket has chosen to remain anonymous, keeping their newfound fortune discreet.
