These Stores Just Had Huge Payouts on Texas Lottery Scratch Offs

Every week, I take a look at where the big prizes ($30,000+) were won on Texas Lottery scratch-off games. This past week (2/25 - 3/1), pickings were pretty slim across the Lone Star State.

A couple of weeks ago, Ten winners claimed big prizes. Last week, that was down to five. But, the big jackpot payouts were down to four.

Those prizes were all won in large Texas cities - Austin, Dallas, Lubbock and Corpus Christi.

The store that sold the winning scratch-off in Lubbock just recently had its grand opening.

There were two $30,000 winners, one $250,000 winner, and one person won half a million dollars. Let's see exactly where they won and the games in which they won.
