Lufkin Man Claims $7.5 Million Texas Lottery Scratch Off Prize

Take a good look at this voided Millionaires Club ticket from the Texas Lottery.  This will probably be as close as you ever get to winning a $7.5 million scratch-off prize. 

That is unless your name is Trevathan Adams of Lufkin, who on February 2nd claimed one of the three top prizes of this Texas Lottery game.  The 2010 Lufkin High School graduate took a chance on the $50 per ticket scratch off game while at the HEB on Timberland Drive in Lufkin and he become the 2nd Texan to win $7.5 million.

The first winner of the Millionaires Club's top prize took place in Denton in May 2014.  So that means there is still another $7.5 million to be claimed somewhere in the state.  This also means that if you have shopped at the Lufkin HEB anytime in the past few weeks, you have walked by a ticket that was worth enough money to run the government for at least a few seconds.

No doubt that after taxes Adams will have less to spend than the original jackpot, but still, what would do with that kind of money?
