A Hickory Creek resident is now $1 million richer after claiming a top prize on the Texas Lottery’s $1,000,000 Ca$h! scratch ticket, bought at a Denton convenience store. The winner chose to stay anonymous once the prize was processed. According to game records, it is the second of four $1 million top prizes in this game to be claimed so far.
Where the ticket was purchased
As reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the lucky ticket was sold at S & B Store #2 in Denton. The outlet identified the winner only as a Hickory Creek resident, with no name listed in public filings.
Game details
The $1,000,000 Ca$h! scratch-off game advertises more than $91.5 million in total prizes, with overall odds of winning any prize at roughly 1 in 3.99, according to the Texas Lottery. The published prize table lists four $1 million top prizes, and lottery records now show two of those as claimed.
Retailer bonus and recent local wins
Under the Texas Lottery's Retailer Bonus Program, any retailer that sells a top-prize ticket can be eligible for a $10,000 bonus, a nice little kicker for the store that moves the winning ticket. CBS Texas highlighted that potential payout while covering another recent North Texas scratch-off win.
What it means for Denton
State records from the Texas Lottery list S & B Store #2 among retailers that have sold top prizes and show the Denton outlet at 1918 N. Carroll Blvd on the agency’s retail list. Local outlets have also pointed to other recent nearby six-figure scratch-off wins, including a Lewisville $1 million prize earlier in the game's run, underscoring how often big payouts are landing around North Texas, as reported by the Cross Timbers Gazette.
