SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A San Antonio resident has claimed a $1 million prize from the Texas Lottery’s $1,000,000 Crossword scratch ticket game, the Texas Lottery Commission confirmed in a recent announcement.
The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K convenience store #2741055 on Walzem Road, near Loop 410 in San Antonio. The winner has chosen to remain anonymous. This marks the second time a top prize has been claimed from this particular scratch-off game.
The $1,000,000 Crossword game offers players the chance to win various prizes, with overall odds of winning any prize approximately one in 3.56. The Texas Lottery Commission advises winners to sign their tickets immediately and seek financial advice before claiming their prizes.
The commission oversees lottery games across Texas and uses proceeds to fund state programs, including public education. It reported increased lottery sales over the past year, attributing growth to new game releases and higher player participation.
Recent months have seen multiple large lottery wins by Texas residents in various games such as Powerball and Mega Millions, alongside scratch-off prizes like the $1 million Crossword.
Retailers like Circle K benefit from lottery sales through commissions on winning ticket sales, which support local businesses. Since the announcement of the recent win, the Walzem Road Circle K store has experienced increased customer traffic.
The Texas Lottery Commission emphasizes responsible play and provides resources for individuals needing support with gambling-related issues. Players must be 18 years or older to purchase tickets, and winners have 180 days from the draw or game end date to claim prizes.
