Texas Lottery Players Scoop $5M After Lucky Purchase

A lottery player in Texas was running low on gas and thought he would have a refill. Stopping at a Buccaneer Food Store, a fuel station, at 1309 Prairie Lea St., Brenham, TX 77833, the player decided to try their luck at one of the available scratchers.

He bought a ticket for the $5 Million Titanium Black game and quickly realized that he had claimed the grand prize worth $5,000,000. The Texas Lottery detailed the win in a press release shared on Tuesday, April 28.

The shop has also won $10,000 thanks to the bonus program the lottery uses to incentivize sales at physical locations for partner retailers. The $5 MIllion Titanium Black game has some pretty high odds of producing the top prize, which makes the winning all the more extraordinary if only down to pure chance.

In other news, GamblingNews recently reported that a $78-million lottery ticket in the Lone Star State has a limited time to claim the top prize. With no winner stepping forward just yet, there is a good chance the jackpot will never be claimed.
