Are You Holding Onto The Million Dollar Texas Lottery Ticket?

You mark the numbers on the lottery sheet or just get a quick pick in hopes of winning the Texas Lottery jackpot. You hope and dream of winning that Mega Millions jackpot, whether it's $1 million or $36 million or $287 million - all of it is life-changing money, after the taxes are pulled out of course.

The thing is once you have that ticket, you've gotta keep up with it for the drawing, then check your numbers to see if you've won anything and if you have, you better have a good financial planner and a quiet mouth because all of your so-called 'relatives' and creditors will come a-knockin'!

Someone in the Houston area purchased a Mega Millions lottery ticket for the March 19th drawing and nearly matched all the numbers for the jackpot. Instead, their five numbers matched those drawn, and missed out on the jackpot because the Mega Ball number didn't match.

But matching the five numbers won them A MILLION DOLLARS! They haven't claimed it yet. WHAT? I know.

What were the winning numbers?

24-46-49-62-66
Mega Ball number 7 (didn't match)

Where was it sold?

The winning million-dollar ticket was sold at All-Season Food on Antoine Dr in Houston.

When does it expire?

The ticket holder has until September 15th to claim their winnings.

What happens with the million dollars if unclaimed?

If they do not redeem their ticket by the deadline the million dollars will go to the State Of Texas and be distributed to the many programs approved by the Texas Legislature.

Gotta play to win but remember to check those numbers you play because you could be a millionaire and not know it. When you do win, you better sign the back of that ticket too.
