MESQUITE, Texas – A lucky lottery player in Mesquite is holding a ticket worth an estimated $41 million following the Lotto Texas drawing held Monday night.
The jackpot-winning ticket was purchased at 7-Eleven Convenience Store #36375A, located at 3700 Interstate Highway 30. The winner, who has not yet come forward, opted for the cash value option at the time of purchase and is expected to receive $22.5 million before taxes.
The winning Quick Pick ticket matched all six numbers drawn on April 20: 21-28-33-34-43-44.
“Monday was an unforgettable night for one Lotto Texas player,” said Courtney Arbour, executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees the lottery. Arbour advised the winner to sign the ticket and keep it in a safe place before calling to schedule an appointment to claim the prize.
Under the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program, the 7-Eleven that sold the ticket may be eligible for a $25,000 bonus.
The massive jackpot began at $5 million in November 2025 and rolled through 66 drawings before being hit. In addition to the grand prize, more than 39,000 tickets won lower-tier prizes in Monday’s drawing, ranging from $2 to $12,834.
The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim their winnings.
