In a thrilling turn of events, a Texas Truck stop has just sold a winning ticket worth a whopping $5 million! The fortunate ticket holder purchased the $50 – $5,000,000 Ultimate at the Jet Travel Plaza, situated just east of Waco. The lucky ticket was sold on Tuesday, July 30th, and the winner has chosen to remain anonymous. Interestingly, the winning ticket was #5 in a book of 20 tickets, and this was the second top prize ticket claimed so far. There are still two more $5 million tickets in circulation, so players are urged to play responsibly and keep their fingers crossed for a chance to strike it big.
