Man Traveling Through TX Wins $5 Million on Scratch Off Bought in

Congratulations to a Minnesota man who was traveling through Texas and picked up a scratcher at a San Antonio and won a $5 million jackpot. The winner lives in Saint Cloud, Minnesota purchased the ticket at the Kwik Trip Food Store located at 5700 S. Flores Street. The resident ended up winning the top prize-winning, a ticket worth $5 million in the $50 scratch ticket game $200 million Cash Blowout, it was the final top prize in this ticket, This win follows my theory of big tickets mostly being sold at nondescript-looking convenience stores.
