Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson

In March, Henderson became the most famous person to win the Texas Lottery. The winning ticket was purchased at Nau's Enfield Drug Store in Austin. Back in his pigskin heyday, the former Dallas Cowboys star fell from grace after being convicted of a felony and sentenced to 28 months in a California prison. Since returning to his hometown, Henderson has thrown himself into community service and been a strong advocate for East Austin. In 1997, he raised $250,000 for Yellow Jacket Track & Field in East Austin.
