Texas Lottery prize claims

Entities: Circle K (Austin) · Circle K · Powerball · Austin, Texas · Texas

Overview

In early July, the Texas Lottery warned that a $1 million Powerball ticket sold in Austin remained unclaimed, giving holders until July 31 (5 p.m.) to claim in person (or by mail on August 1) before the prize reverts to state‑funded programs.

On July 14, the Lottery reiterated that the $20 million Supreme scratch‑off jackpot had been claimed by an anonymous resident of New Braunfels, who said the windfall will eliminate family debts and fund grandchildren’s education. Two $100,000 prizes from the same game still remain unclaimed, and the $20 million game is now retired while lower‑tier prizes continue to be paid.

These updates show the Lottery’s ongoing management of large winnings, from urging timely claims of an unclaimed Powerball prize to concluding a flagship scratch‑off game after its top prize is awarded.
