Someone in Texas won a $3 million Megaplier ticket. The Texas Lottery tweeted that the winning ticket was sold in San Antonio.



Texans have gotten lottery lucky lately.

Last Friday, a $1 million winning ticket was sold at the Valero on Bellaire Boulevard in southwest Houston. A $2 million winning ticket was sold the same day at Cove Country Store off S FM 565 in Baytown.

Mega Millions Jackpot at $1.6B


The Mega Millions winning numbers page updated around 4 a.m. to reflect there was just one winner for the jackpot.



The next estimated jackpot has also reset to $40 million. That drawing is on Friday.

Tuesday's drawing wasn't a record breaker, but it's still a nice chunk of change. If the winner chooses the cash payout option, he or she walks away with $904 million.



If no one had won the massive jackpot, that would have brought Friday's jackpot potential to $2 billion, which carries a cash payout option of $1.142 billion, according to the Texas Lottery.
