A jackpot-winning ticket worth an estimated $7.5 million for the Lotto Texas drawing held on Wednesday was purchased at a store in Mansfield, according to Texas Lottery officials.

The winner bought the ticket at One World Grocery, at 2881 Highway 157 N. in Mansfield.

The winner self-picked their numbers, matching all six of the numbers drawn (5-13-22-29-37-48). Since the winner chose the annual payments option at the time of purchase, the prize will be paid in 30 annual installments of $250,000 before taxes, according to a news release.

The prize has not yet been claimed. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize.

“We look forward to meeting the winner of this Lotto Texas jackpot prize,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “If you have the winning ticket, we encourage you to sign the ticket, put it in a safe place, seek financial and legal advice, and call the Texas Lottery to schedule an appointment to claim the prize.”

In addition to the jackpot-winning prize, 41,917 Lotto Texas tickets, including those with the Extra! add-on feature, won lower-tier prizes ranging from $2 to $11,106 for the same drawing. The jackpot for the next Lotto Texas drawing on Saturday will reset to an estimated annuitized $5 million.

Lotto Texas is played by picking six numbers from one to 54 and offers multimillion-dollar jackpots, the release said. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 p.m. CT. For $1 more per play, a player can select the Extra! add-on feature for a chance to win up to $10,000 more on non-jackpot prizes.
