AUSTIN (KXAN) — A south Austin convenience store recently sold a $2 million prize from a Mega Millions drawing, according to the Texas Lottery.

The Texas Lottery said the ticket from U-Pak-M, located at 11940 Menchaca Road, had those winning numbers.

Whoever bought the winning ticket has no later than 180 days after the draw date to claim the $2 million prize, according to the Texas Lottery.

In September, a Texas resident bought one of two lotto-winning tickets at Big’s 103, located at 11905 E. U.S. Highway 290 in Fredericksburg. That resident claimed half of the $1.8 billion Powerball Grand Prize, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).

The Fredericksburg player selected the cash value option when buying the ticket, meaning their prize was $410,324,470.28 before taxes.

A representative with TDLR said the ticket bought in Fredericksburg was the second largest jackpot win in both Powerball and U.S. Lottery history.

Big’s 103 also got a $250,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, according to TDLR.
