Anonymous winner in Laredo claims one million dollar prize from Texas Lottery 500X ticket
Laredo, Texas – A lucky Laredo resident has officially joined the millionaire club after claiming a top prize winning ticket worth $1 million in the Texas Lottery scratch ticket game 500X. The winning ticket was purchased at Pump N Shop #11, located at 1201 E. Saunders St. in Laredo. The individual chose to remain unnamed, opting for the privacy that often comes with sudden fortune.
Eighth Top Prize Claimed in 500X Game
This marks the eighth of 15 top prizes worth $1 million to be claimed in this game, leaving seven more million-dollar tickets still in circulation. The 500X game is known for its exciting prize structure and massive payouts. “500X offers more than $229 million in total prizes. Overall odds of winning any prize in the game are one in 3.36, including break-even prizes.”
The win adds to the Texas Lottery’s long history of distributing life-changing prizes. Since the sale of its first ticket in 1992, the Texas Lottery has generated more than $40 billion in revenue for the state and distributed more than $91 billion in prizes to lottery players.
Lottery Proceeds Support Education and Veterans
Beyond the excitement of winning, the Texas Lottery plays a major role in public good. Since 1997, the Texas Lottery has contributed more than $34.7 billion to the Foundation School Fund, which supports public education in Texas. It also aids those who served, as the Texas Lottery has contributed more than $267 million for programs supporting Texas veterans since launching its first veterans’ themed scratch ticket in 2009.
