"That's the last time, John, that we had a winner in Texas. 2019. Other states have been a little more lucky than us. So I just have a feeling Texas is due," said Grief. "My boyfriend gave me $20, told me to get tickets. This is where I get my gas, this is where I get everything, and I got busy and didn’t buy any tickets. And then of course I saw Cluck Creek on the news, so I’m not forgetting tonight," said Adrienne Altman of Cedar Park.
