Nearly a month after the winning numbers were drawn, a McKinney resident has come forward as the victor of August's $17 million Lotto Texas jackpot.
The Texas Lottery said the winner, who remained anonymous, bought their ticket at a 7-Eleven store on the 76000 block of Campbell Road in Dallas.
Their chosen numbers matched all six of the numbers drawn (10-14-17-31-38-48), which were drawn on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
The annuitized prize was worth $17 million over 30 years, but the player selected the cash value option, dropping the prize to $9,784,117.86 before taxes.
