A lottery player recently won a life-changing prize in the Texas Hill Country, according to lottery officials.

The Boerne resident bought a $400 Million Mega Bucks ticket and scratched it off to reveal they won a $5 million jackpot, the state lottery said in a June 23 news release.

The lucky winner, who chose to be anonymous, bought the ticket at 1415 E. Blanco Road in Boerne, the release said. A Metro Stop gas station is at that address.

There are four $5 million top prizes available in the game, and the Boerne resident is the second to win, meaning two remain.

According to the lottery, the odds of hitting one of the jackpots are 1-in-1,290,000, though there are also prizes ranging from $150 to $50,000.

Boerne is a roughly 30-mile drive northwest from San Antonio.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
