A Haslet resident claimed a $5 million prize-winning ticket from the Texas Lottery's $5,000,000 Ultimate scratch ticket game.
The winner, who elected to remain anonymous, bought the prize-winning ticket at Mighty Convenience in Fort Worth. This was the first of four $5 million top prizes that could be won in this game.
The total prize pool for the $5,000,000 Ultimate game is more than $399.2 million.
The $5 million Ultimate ticket is pricier than an average scratch-off, at $50 per ticket. There is a one in 3.64 chance of winning any prize in the game, including break-even prizes.
