Prizes of $1 million or more, and all prizes that are paid out in annuity payments must be claimed at the Texas Lottery Commission Headquarters in Austin. Prizes must be claimed no later than 180 days after the draw date.

AFAIK if they made the wrong choice, it would be the largest US lottery prize to be paid through an annuity. The winner selected the cash value option.http://www.txlottery.org/online/payoutmegamillion.cfm

My sister lives in Rowlett, and I bet she is kicking herself too for not buying the ticket there. Although I haven't heard from her today, hmm maybe she hiding something from me. Texgirl

A couple of times, I've had slips fade a bit from the sun, and the dang machine didn't read my filled in Cash Option.

Glad to see Texas is in the 1% to store owners club, some states cap it out and are extremely stingy when selling big jackpots.
