Tyler Player Wins $1 Million Lottery Prize

TYLER — A Tyler man claimed the last of four $1 million top prizes in the Maximum Millions scratch-off game at the Texas Lottery claim center in Tyler on Monday. Ricky Henderson said “I don’t think it really hit me when I first scratched off the ticket,” said Henderson. “It finally sank in when they gave me the check and now I’m really excited!”

Henderson, a single father, is a longtime Texas Lottery player and said he plans to use some of his winnings to buy homes for himself and his mother, and to invest a large portion for his daughter’s future. The winning ticket was purchased at the D & N Grocery store located at 1007 West Bow Street in Tyler. The retailer is eligible to receive a $10,000 bonus.
