The winner of Texas' largest lottery jackpot has broken their silence, offering a rare glimpse into life after claiming a record $410 million prize.

Someone just got a whole lot richer after a $1 million Texas Two Step Lottery ticket was sold at a West Texas convenience store on Thursday, October 16, according to the Texas Lottery website. In addition to the million-dollar ticket, a $25,000 winning ticket was sold in Plano on Saturday, October 18.

More than 400,000 other tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $10 to $50,000 in the drawing.

The winning ticket was sold in Fredericksburg. The $410,000,000 cash value option is the largest prize ever paid out to a single Texas Lottery player. REDEMPTION: Miami Heat Need Bam Adebayo ALL-STAR Season | Will First 20 Games TRIGGER a Trade?
