“We look forward to meeting the latest Lotto Texas jackpot winner,” said Gary Grief, the executive director of the Texas Lottery, in the release. “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.”
The winning Lotto Texas jackpot started as an advertised $5 million prize for the drawing on Oct. 3. In addition to the jackpot-winning prize, 57,052 Lotto Texas tickets, including those with the Extra! add-on feature, won lower-tier prizes ranging from $2 to $11,180 for the same drawing.
The jackpot for the next Lotto Texas will reset to $5 million. The drawing will be at 10:12 p.m. Wednesday.
