SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio resident entered a far-west-side convenience store this week and likely left with a smile on their face, having claimed a $3 million lottery scratch-off prize.
Texas Lottery officials say the claimant, who preferred to remain anonymous, bought the 500X Loteria Spectacular ticket at a Pit Stop Food Mart along West Loop 1604. The game offers nearly $200 million in total prizes, and participants have a one in 3.10 chance of winning (that includes break-even prizes).
The Texas Lottery system has contributed more than $27 billion to public education initiatives in Texas since 1997, officials say.
