Iconic 'Whoop Stop' Sells Winning $25,000 Texas Lottery Ticket

On State Highway 21, just east of the Highway 290 intersection, you'll find the 'Whoop Stop' convenience store. Inside and out, the shop features tributes and memorabilia honoring Texas A&M. The Aggie bonfire display complete with a t.u. frat house topper has caused many a motorist to do a double-take when passing by.

The 'Whoop Stop' sold a winning Texas Lottery Cash Five ticket for the drawing on Monday, March 23. Someone purchased a quick pick ticket with the numbers 5-7-9-11-26, exactly matching the winning numbers drawn later that night. That's worth a $25,000 payout.

A second winning ticket was also sold at the Bull Stop convenience store in Slaton, Texas. Somewhat ironic, don't you think? A winning ticket was sold at a store that's all about Aggies, and the other was sold at a store that references a bull, which is what a Longhorn is.

How To Play Cash Five

This game's drawings are held every night except on Sundays. 5 numbers between 1 and 35 are drawn. Anyone matching all five wins $25,000. The odds of winning the top prize in Cash Five are approximately 1 in 325,000.

Lotto Texas Continues To Grow

The Lotto Texas game is still looking for its first jackpot winner of 2026. Anyone who matches all six winning numbers will win the top prize, which currently sits at $33.5 million. You have to go back to November 15 to find the last jackpot winner. Gordon's Bait and Tackle Shop in Brownsville sold a winning ticket worth $78 million.
