Arlington Resident Claims $1 Million Texas Lottery Scratch-Ticket Prize

An Arlington resident claimed a $1 million prize from the Texas Lottery’s $1,000,000 Riches scratch-ticket game, securing the third $1 million top prize claimed in the game.

The winning ticket was purchased at Sunny’s Food Mart, a retailer at 1540 S. Center St. in Arlington, Texas. The purchase location connects the seven-figure prize to a specific Arlington business and places the winning ticket within the city.

The Texas Lottery identified the prize claim on Sept. 22, 2026. The claimant elected to remain anonymous, and no individual identity was released in connection with the prize.

The prize came from the $1,000,000 Riches scratch-ticket game. The Texas Lottery lists the game as number 2636 in its scratch-ticket details.

Four $1 million top prizes were printed for the game. The Arlington prize was the third of those four top prizes to be claimed, according to the Texas Lottery.

Because three of the four printed top prizes had been claimed, one $1 million top prize had not yet been claimed in the count identified by the lottery. The announcement did not identify where that remaining top-prize ticket was located or provide any additional information about it.

The game offers more than $57.2 million in total prizes. That figure covers the game’s overall prize structure rather than only its four $1 million top prizes.

The Texas Lottery lists the overall odds of winning any prize in the game as one in 3.82. Those odds include break-even prizes, meaning prizes that return the cost of the ticket rather than providing a gain.

Sunny’s Food Mart may be eligible for a $10,000 bonus through the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program because it sold the winning ticket. The potential bonus is separate from the $1 million prize claimed by the Arlington resident.

The available announcement did not state that the retailer’s bonus had already been awarded. It identified the retailer’s possible eligibility under the bonus program, leaving the award status open.

The Arlington claim adds a third identified top-prize claim to the $1,000,000 Riches game’s four-prize structure. The game details establish that four $1 million prizes were printed, while the prize announcement establishes that the Arlington ticket represented the third claimed prize.

The announcement did not identify the anonymous claimant beyond describing the person as an Arlington resident. It also did not identify the location of the remaining unclaimed top-prize ticket, so the available details establish the Arlington claim and the game’s prize count without resolving where the final $1 million prize is held.
