A Garland man became a millionaire after winning $1 million in a Texas Lottery scratch-off game.
The winner, who elected to remain anonymous, bought a grand prize-winning Millions Club ticket at Tom Thumb in Richardson's Arapaho Village.
In the Millions Club game, there are 10 top prizes totaling $1 million up for grabs. The winning ticket was the fourth of 10 top prizes being offered in the game.
The winner is the second person from Garland to win $1 million in the Millions Club game. The first winner came in February with a ticket bought at a 7-Eleven in Dallas. Two other million-dollar prizes have been won in Laredo and Tatum.
