PLANO, Texas — A Plano resident has claimed a previously unclaimed Mega Millions prize worth $1 million, Texas Lottery said Monday.
The ticket was from a drawing held on July 29, 2022, and was set to expire on Jan. 25, 2023.
Lottery officials said the ticket was purchased at RaceTrac #099, located at 1100 W. Park Blvd. in Plano.
The winning ticket was a Quick Pick that matched all five white ball numbers drawn (13-36-45-57-67), but not the Mega Ball number (14). The winner chose to be anonymous.
Another winning ticket was also sold from the same drawing but has yet to be claimed. It was bought at Fuel Maxx #47, located at 420 University Drive in Prairie View.
Texas lottery officials said the deadline to claim the $1 million prize is Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023, at 5 p.m. local time. The ticket holder may claim the prize at any Texas Lottery claim center.
The ticket holder may also claim the prize by mail. Texas Lottery officials said the ticket, along with the claim form, must be postmarked on or prior to Jan. 25 and mailed to this address:
Texas Lottery Commission
ATTN: Austin Claim Center
PO Box 16600
Austin, TX 78761-6600
Meanwhile, lottery players will once again have a chance at more than $1 billion after nobody won the $940 million Mega Millions jackpot Friday night. Tuesday's prize ranks as the fifth-largest in U.S history.
Nobody won the jackpot, but five tickets matched the first five numbers to win $1 million. Two were sold in New York; the others were sold in Florida, Maryland and New Jersey.
