The second Lotto Texas jackpot winner of 2024 was a big win, with one lucky ticket holder in Austin winning the $29 million jackpot last night.
The jackpot-winning ticket
The jackpot-winning ticket came for the Monday, June 24, drawing of Lotto Texas. The winning numbers were 11, 21, 25, 30, 32, and 50, and the winning Quick Pick ticket matched all six of the numbers drawn.
The winning ticket was purchased at Salt Springs Xpress, located at 8101 Salt Springs Drive (Suite A) in Austin. The lucky ticket holder selected the cash values option at the time of purchase, so they will receive $16.64 million before taxes.
Claiming the prize
The prize has not yet been claimed, Texas Lottery officials said. The winner will have 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize.
Ryan Mindell, executive director of the Texas Lottery, said:
