A lucky player from Laredo is now a millionaire after claiming a $1 million prize on the Texas Lottery’s popular scratch game, “500X.”
The winning moment happened on Cinco de Mayo, adding an extra reason to celebrate. The ticket was sold at Pump N Shop #11, located at 1201 E. Saunders Street.
While the jackpot was revealed on the Texas Lottery’s website, the winner has chosen to remain anonymous.
The “500X” scratch-off costs $50 per ticket and gives players 33 chances to win, including 10 winning numbers, 30 player numbers, and 3 bonus spots.
Despite the long odds — approximately 1 in 3.36 — this ticket proved to be the game-changer.
Laredo, a vibrant border city just two hours south of San Antonio, can now add a new millionaire to its community.
