Last year, the winning ticket for the Texas Lotto jackpot of $95 million was reported to have been sold at a storefront called Hooked on MT in Colleyville. It was later discovered that a syndicate had pooled its money together and spent almost $26 million to buy every possible numeric combination for the lottery -- and it worked.

It was only one jackpot winner, however, but the identity of the winners of high-dollar prizes can remain undisclosed per Texas lottery rules.

The current jackpot is still up for grabs, and the drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 12, according to the website.
