The winner has decided to remain anonymous but reported to hit the jackpot on Aug. 16. The winner took the cash option and has walked away with a check totaling nearly 10 million bucks before taxes.

The winning ticket was sold at a 7-11 on Campbell Road in Dallas. The winner admits to being overwhelmed and nervous about scoring all that money but called his girlfriend right away to share the news.
