Kingwood resident wins "Set For Life" lotto game


A ticket in the Texas Lottery's "Set for Life" scratch-off game is a big win for a customer at a Randalls store in Kingwood.

The Texas Lottery Commission announced Tuesday that Jay V. Knighton II, a lawyer for the Stone and Associates firm in The Woodlands, has claimed the winning ticket on behalf of a client, a Texas resident whose name the firm declined to release. The ticket came from the Randalls at 600 Kingwood Drive.

"We've very excited that one of our shoppers had a winning lotto ticket," says Dawn Proffitt, a Randalls spokesperson.

Proffitt says the store hasn't yet heard from the lucky customer.

The ticket has won that person $250,000 per year, with a total prize not to exceed $5 million.

Knighton could not be reached at his office Thursday, but he said in a Texas Lottery Commission press release that his client has been a long-time lottery player.

According to the Lottery Commission, the Kingwood Randalls store is eligible for a $10,000 retailer bonus for selling the winning ticket.
