An Eagle Lake resident claimed one of the top prizes in the scratch ticket game, the Million Dollar Loteria.
The game is part of the Texas Lottery, and they went home with a $1 million prize.
The winner chooses to remain anonymous, but the ticket was purchased at the Time Maxx gas station at 500 E Main St in Eagle Lake, across the street from Buc-ees. For selling the ticket, the retailer may be eligible for a $10,000 bonus thanks to the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program.
The winner beat the odds of one in 3.29 to win $1 million and is now one of six people in southeast Texas to claim a prize. A person in League City claimed a prize of $7.5 million, and people in Huffman, Cleveland, Conroe and Beaumont have all claimed $1 million.
