North Texas went wild when the first H-E-B opened its doors in Frisco, and though the crowds have reduced and the stores aren’t as full as they once were, we’re sure people will be lined up outside the door after hearing about this.

At an H-E-B in Austin, a Quick Pick lottery ticket was sold that turned out to be a winner!  The individual that purchased it walked away with a cool $34 million!

According to KXAN, the purchaser opted for the lump sum payout.

Austin has turned out to be a little hub for lottery winners, as in the last month two other winning lottery tickets worth more than $1 million have been claimed in the Texas capitol.

One of the winners brought home $3 million after winning a top prize in the Texas Lottery scratch ticket game “$750 Million Winner’s Circle,” while the other won $2 million from a winning Texas Powerball ticket.
