The winning ticket was purchased with the megaplier option, which increased the value from $1 to $4 million.

While the draw ticket at the Seguin store pulled in the biggest haul last year, millions were also won with seven scratch-off tickets sold in Bexar and Atascosa counties.

Records showed that three $5 million scratch-off tickets were sold in the last eight months.

In June 2020 alone, NYS Food Mart at 4927 Rigsby Ave. and Roadster #18 at 8630 W. U.S. Highway 90 each sold scratch-off tickets worth that amount.

The winning tickets were the $200 Million Ca$h and the Premier Play games, respectively.

It appears the NYS Food Mart is among the luckier stores in San Antonio, too: the store sold 17 winning scratch-off tickets total last year. Besides the $5 million, the store also sold tickets worth $1,000, $2,000, $2,5000 and $10,000.
