A Top Prize Winning Ticket Sold in This Small Texas Town

This is why I always buy a scratch-off when I drive through small towns. I believe that many big winners are sold in small towns.

Another big winner in a small town. A $250,000 winning ticket was sold in Lolita, Texas, at the Circle R Drive In. The top-prize winning ticket was from the $10 Mega Loteria series. The winning ticket was #23 in the book of 50. This was the 6th out of 20 top-prize jackpots. There are still 14 $250,000 top-prize tickets in circulation.

Last year in September, a winning ticket was sold in Tivoli, also a small Texas town, it was another top-prize winner on a $10 ticket. An anonymous Yoakum resident won a $1 million top-prize jackpot for the $10 ticket, Cash Explosion. This winning ticket was #2 in the book of 50.
