$7.5 Million Winner in La Vernia, Texas

La Vernia, Texas is about a 30-minute drive from downtown San Antonio. Located southeast of the Alamo City, La Vernia is still far enough to keep its rural identity.

According to the 2022 census, the town's population is a little over 1200.

A few days ago, somebody walked into a small Shell Food Mart convenience store and spent $100 on a Loteria Supreme Scratch-Off ticket.

I can only imagine the flood of emotions that individual had when they double and triple-checked their scratch-off ticket and realized that their tax bracket was about to undergo a major change.

According to the Texas Lottery website, the winning ticket was turned in to a Texas Lottery claim center on April 11. Chances are we will never know the identity of the winner.
