A lottery ticket worth $78 million in Texas was claimed by a trust in South Dakota. The trust, named Jua-Ri Trust Agreement Trident Trust Company Inc, opted for a lump sum payment of $43,757,223.10 before applicable taxes.

The ticket was claimed six days before the 180-day expiration date. The winning numbers were 7, 17, 23, 28, 39, and 48. The ticket was sold at Gordon’s Bait & Tackle.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
