Texas Man Turns $100 Scratch-Off Ticket Into $5 Million Payday

A $100 scratch off turned into a $5 million payday for one Texas man. A Big Springs resident claimed the top prize in the $5 Millon Fortune series as reported by the Texas Lottery. The ticket number was #1 in the book, if you keep track of those stats.

This was 2nd jackpot ticket sold in this series. However, there are a total of 4 Top-Prize tickets, which means there are still 2 $5 million tickets still out. The ticket was purchased at Uncles #6377, located at 7011 N. Service Rd., in Big Springs. As always, the claimant elected to remain anonymous.

Earlier this year, a 500X $1 million winning ticket was sold in Victoria

Back in February, another million dollar ticket from this series was sold in Victoria. At Sammy's In and Out on Mockingbird. The $1 million winning ticket was from the $50 500X series of tickets. The winning ticket was number 18 out of a book of 20.The ticket was claimed on February 19, 2025 at the Lottery Claim Center in Victoria. Congratulations to that one lucky winner who remains anonymous.

While I don't have great luck, I find it satisfying to watch other people win and social media is great place to see that happen. AR Platinum is super fun to watch and scratches Texas Lottery tickets on camera. Check out a few of his big wins.

This next one is a claimer. A claimer in the Texas Lottery is any ticket worth more than $600.00. This one was worth $5000.00. Claim options. Imagine how you would react, if this happened to you.

It's just so cool to see a manual win-all.

My guess is a $100 winner. In case, you are wondering what a manual win-all is. It means you win in every available spots.
