Name of Lotto winner still a mystery May 25, 2007 Ft. Worth Star Telegram, May 25, 2007 EULESS -- 1, 3, 13, 14, 22 and 52. The Texas Lotto ticket bearing those numbers was purchased Mother's Day. It could be a mixture of birth and anniversary dates or ages. Maybe it was the luck of the draw. The real mystery is who bought the winning ticket worth $12 million at the Ector Drive One Shop Store for Wednesday's drawing. Lotto officials received a phone call Thursday morning from a person who claimed to have the winning ticket. "That person is trying to get here and is seeking legal advice," Lottery Commission spokeswoman Leticia Vasquez said. Not all jackpots are collected, Vasquez said. About $31 million worth of winnings not claimed within the 180-day deadline of the Lotto draw were in the commission's unclaimed funds as of April 30. Every two years, $10 million is given to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, and the rest goes to the Texas Legislature's general revenue fund. « Back | The Newsroom »
