UPDATE: The winning Lotto Texas numbers for Oct. 7, 2017, are: 2-12-28-31-32-42.

From earlier:

AUSTIN, TX — Nobody drew the winning numbers drawn on Wednesday, pushing the prize to a nothing-to-sneeze at total of $14 million, or an estimated cash option of $9.74 million.

The numbers that nobody matched on Wednesday, Oct. 4, were: 13-17-20-29-30-44. If you crumbled up your non-winning ticket in disgust over not becoming an overnight millionaire, you might want to retrieve it and smooth out the creases as there are prizes awarded for matching as few as two digits. While you're at it, check past winning numbers for those unchecked tickets you might have lying around (please, though, play responsibly) by clicking here.

If you buy tickets for tonight's drawing, you can view the webcast tonight to witness the excitement of aloft, bouncing balls in a transparent container dropping into a slot and then exiting the drum with the power of air to be retrieved for display by a Texas Lottery Commission employee. It's gripping television.

Or you could look for the winning numbers shown during local newscasts, typically around 10:15 p.m. Or click on this story after 10 p.m. when we will have updated this article with the winning numbers (which, to my mind, is the best of the options).

And please sign up for daily newsletters from Patch apprising you of the day's news, which also will provide you with breaking news alerts when warranted. Among the news would be winning lottery numbers every Wednesday and Saturday, so it's a win-win for both of us. Get that process going by clicking here, and thank you very much in advance for doing that.
