Hooks Texas Resident Wins $1Million Scratch-Off Lottery Prize

What would you do with a $1 million lottery ticket? Retire early? Take a nice long vacation, pay off your bills, go back to school? That's the thinking going on in one lucky person's head now as one of our very own Texarkana-area residents has done the seemingly impossible, purchased a winning scratch-off ticket worth $1 million.

Which Game Did They Play?

If you're curious, and we know you are, which Texas Lottery scratch-off game did the winning ticket come from? The answer is the $20 purchase price, Game #2586, Million Dollar Loteria. There are a total of 10 top prizes worth $1 million in this game, now 8 of those have been won. Million Dollar Loteria offers more than $384 million in total prizes. Overall odds of winning any prize in the game are one in 3.29, including break-even prizes.

As for our local winner in Hooks, Texas, they have chosen to remain anonymous. I can't blame them; this is one of those lottery prizes that's enough to be really exciting, but not enough to be considered filthy rich. Either way, staying unknown is probably a good strategy.

Where Did They Buy It?

The winning ticket was purchased at Paradise Quick Stop 13, located at 580 Lone Star Drive, in Hooks. Do you think maybe they have another one in the stack? You never know.

Even though the winner has decided to remain anonymous, there will be signs...

• New bass boat?
• Hitting the road in your new RV?
• Early Retirement?
• All Bills Paid?
• New Hair Do?
• Twinkle In Your Eye?

What would your signs be if you won a decent-sized lottery prize?
