$1 million lottery winner revealed

May 27, 2009 - 7:57 PM

The mystery of the $1 million winning ticket sold at a Bridge City convenience store has been solved.

Bridge City resident Dennis Moore Junior came forward Wednesday to claim his Mega Millions prize at the Lotto Claim Center in Beaumont.

His Quick Pick ticket matched all five numbers drawn on May 19, but not the Mega Ball.

He bought the ticket at the Exxpress Mart on Texas Avenue in Bridge City.

Moore says he's using the money to pay off a piece of property he recently bought and he's not giving up on winning the jackpot in the future.
