Kilgore Had Another Huge Texas Lottery Winner in 2024

The Kilgore area is no stranger to winning huge Texas Lottery jackpots.

In September 2024, somebody in Kilgore won $500,000 playing the All or Nothing game. This is an extremely tough game to win, with the jackpot-winning odds somewhere around 1 in 2.7 million.

To win the top prize of $250,000, you must match all 12 numbers drawn between 1-24, or match all 12 numbers not drawn.

The winning player purchased two winning tickets at Zippy J's in Kilgore. One matched all 12 numbers, the other didn't match any. That equals half a million dollars!
