AUSTIN, Texas – Someone who purchased a lottery ticket in Wichita Falls won a $15.25 million jackpot Wednesday.
The winner purchased the ticket at Fill N Chill in the 3100 block of Northwest Freeway.
The Quick Pick ticket matched all six of the numbers drawn (3-8-13-25-33-44). The cash value option was selected at the time of purchase and the claimant will receive $10,004,308.25.
The prize has not yet been claimed. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize.
“If you have the winning ticket, we encourage you to sign the ticket, put it in a safe place, seek financial and legal advice, and call the Texas Lottery before coming to Austin to claim the prize. We look forward to meeting you,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery.
In addition to the jackpot-winning prize, six tickets matched five numbers and chose the Lotto Extra! feature to win $11,015.
The retailer will not receive a bonus for selling the winning ticket due to a legislative change that took effect Sept. 1.
The winning Lotto Texas jackpot started as a $5 million prize on Aug. 15, and rolled 22 times before being won Wednesday night. The jackpot for the next Lotto Texas drawing on Saturday will reset to $5 million.
