Imagine winning a $20 million prize from a scratch-off game that lived up to its name.
Texas Lottery officials announced on Tuesday that it was one Fort Worth resident’s lucky day, bringing home one of four top prizes worth $20 million.
This means only one more top prize remains for a scratch-off game called $20 Million Supreme, according to Texas Lottery officials.
The latest winning ticket was purchased at the Cleburne Food Mart located at 3233 Cleburne Road, WFAA reported.
Tickets for $20 Million Supreme run much higher than standard scratch-offs at $100 a pop.
The rewards are much higher than standard tickets as well, though. There are over $829 million in total prizes for this game, with prize amounts starting at $150. While the Texas Lottery says there is only a one in 3.49 chance that someone can win a prize of $150 or more in the game, it might be encouraging to know that some winning tickets remain at large.
Here’s a list of the prizes claimed as of February 14 for an indication of those still up for grabs, per the Texas Lottery.

The Texas Lottery reported that the last fiscal year was a record-breaking one. Of the almost $2 billion reaped in revenue, $1.972 billion went to the Foundation School Fund, a program that funds special programming services for Texas public school districts.
“The Texas Lottery has now contributed more than $29 billion to Texas public education and more than $192 million to Texas veterans since the dedication of such funds by the Texas Legislature”, said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery.
