Copperas Cove Resident Wins $1 Million in Texas Lottery!
Life just got a lot brighter for one lucky Copperas Cove resident! On Wednesday, the anonymous winner claimed a $1 million top prize from the Texas Lottery’s popular scratch-off game, 500X. The winning ticket was purchased at Star Mart 15, located at 1903 N. 1st St., in Copperas Cove.
Here’s something exciting: this was the 12th of 15 top prizes claimed in this game so far, which boasts more than $229 million in total prizes. The overall odds of winning any 500X prize? About 1 in 3.36, including break-even prizes—so even smaller wins are fairly common.
Why the Texas Lottery Matters
The Texas Lottery isn’t just about big wins—it’s a major contributor to programs that benefit Texans statewide. Much of its revenue goes directly into public education through the Foundation School Fund, but that’s not all. Dedicated scratch-off games help support the Fund for Veterans’ Assistance, which has raised over $279 million since 2009 to provide services for Texas veterans.
Games for Every Player
Lottery officials highlight the variety of options available:
-
Multi-state jackpots like Powerball and Mega Millions
-
Texas-only games such as Lotto Texas, All or Nothing, Texas Two Step, Pick 3, Daily 4, and Cash Five
Whether you’re chasing a big jackpot or just a fun scratch-off, there’s something for everyone. The agency also encourages responsible play and keeps players updated through its social media channels and website, which offer game rules, second-chance drawings, and the latest announcements.
