In May, another winning ticket worth $5 million was bought in Central Texas — a Mega Millions one purchased on May 21 at an HEB Store and Slaughter Lane and Escarpment Boulevard that was purchased on May 21.

A past Texas Lottery winner himself, Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody shared news of the new Cedar Park millionaire on social media, offering his congratulations while noting jealousy is sure to rear its ugly head as word of the local winner spreads.

"Congratulations!" Chody wrote on Twitter in all caps. "From one winner to another, people will be envious no matter. Honor God and enjoy life," he added in the way of advice, from one lottery winner to another.

Chody became an overnight millionaire 18 years ago when his wife bought a winning Texas Lottery ticket valued at $85 million while he worked as an officer for the Austin Police Department. The couple opted for the cash value option rather than annual annuities, taking home $51.2 million.
