The Texas Lottery Commission presented three retailer bonus checks to San Antonio-based UltraMar Diamond Shamrock for selling jackpot-winning Lotto Texas tickets. The bonus checks, totaling $415,000, were given to three separate UltraMar Diamond Shamrock stores.
"The Texas Lottery Commission is pleased to present these bonus checks to UltraMar Diamond Shamrock," said Robert Tirloni, Texas Lottery On-Line Product Manager. "It's because of people and employees like those here today, we can keep the games of Texas fun and exciting for our retailers and our players!"
