A $3 Million Texas Lottery Ticket Was Sold at a Fort Worth-Area Convenience Store

Someone in Euless just had a massive payday, thanks to the Texas Lottery. Yeah, having a job will be 100% optional for this person from this point on. 

I love what I do for a living, but it wasn’t always that way. I spent many years working for a living before I landed this radio gig. And there was more than one of those jobs that I would have loved nothing more than to tell the boss to take that job and shove it, to quote the late great Johnny Paycheck.

The $3 Million Colossal Cashword Scratch Ticket

Now, I have no earthly idea if the anonymous Euless resident plans to quit their job, but they now have 3 million excuses to do so. The lucky player won the $3 million jackpot with a Colossal Cashword scratch ticket they bought at Moonlight Food Mart, located at 13900 Trinity Blvd., in Fort Worth, according to a press release. 

That was the final $3 million jackpot to be claimed in the game. However, if you’re willing to wager $50 on a scratch-off, there are still 2 $50,000 prizes that have yet to be claimed in the game. Overall, Colossal Cashword will award over $162 million in prizes. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are one in 3.31, including break-even prizes.

Aside from awarding billions of dollars in prizes to players since its inception in 1992, the Texas Lottery has also given billions of dollars to support education in the Lone Star State, as well as Texas veterans.
